Laminated composite and sandwich structures are lightweight structures that can be found
in many diverse applications especially civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering. The …

The mid-span deflection is an essential index for evaluating the safety of bridge safety and
service life. In contrast, the existing deflection calculation methods cannot accurately predict …

The fully anisotropic response of composite beams is an important consideration in diverse
applications including aeroelastic responses of helicopter rotor and wind turbine blades. Our …

Exact and analytical solutions for the static response of fully coupled composite beams
subject to non-uniformly distributed loads are presented. The governing equations are …

Discontinuous patch-type loads cause highly localized stresses which can initiate failures
like crack and delamination, and thus must be predicted accurately for efficient design of …

An exact analytical solution of the problem on plane elastic bending of the segment of a
narrow multilayer beam under the action of arbitrary normal loads distributed over its …

Shear deflection is a key factor to take into consideration since members with smaller web
areas are more vulnerable to shear. As a result, this work focuses on using theoretical …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the degradation law of stiffness of steel-concrete
composite beams after certain fatigue loads. First, six test beams with stud connectors were …

In this work, an analytical/theoretical, computational and experimental study is performed to
investigate the behavior of polymer matrix and glass-fiber chopped strand mat composites …

Due to non-uniform distribution of structural deformation along its transverse width direction,
shear lag behavior widely exists in composite structure with multi-box and leads to structural …
