Thin-walled elements, thanks to their good properties, are increasingly used in structural
applications, especially in the aircraft and building industries. These kinds of structures are …

In this work nonlocal buckling analysis of laminated composite plates considering surface
stress effects is presented. For computation of critical uniaxial and biaxial buckling loads …

In this paper, the compressive behaviour of an omega stiffened composite panel with a large
notch damage has been investigated. The influence of intra-laminar and inter-laminar …

In the present study, a buckling analysis of laminated composite rectangular plates
reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) inclusions is carried out using the …

In this paper, a research activity, focused on the investigation of new reinforcements able to
improve the toughness of composite materials systems, is introduced. The overall aim is to …

The present paper deals with the description of the stability loss and postbuckling for
multilayered composite structures. Both, the experimental results and theoretical predictions …

This present work investigates the buckling load optimization of the laminated composite
plates with the elliptical hole under different non-uniform edge loads. The design objective is …

Open holes or cut-outs have been commonly used in composite structures for various
engineering purposes. Those elements often demand perforation especially for weight …

In the present paper, a flexible framework is developed for the optimization of composite
laminate plates. In this framework, an optimization algorithm is employed to find the optimal …

This paper presents the flexural analysis of functionally graded plates resting on elastic
foundations using new two-dimensional (2D) and quasi-three-dimensional (quasi-3D) …
