Beams and beam structures are structural components commonly used in mechanical,
aerospace, nuclear, and civil engineering. To meet the different engineering design …

A formulation is presented for the investigation of the free vibrations of open and closed
conical shells. Cylindrical ones are derived as a special case. The approach relies upon an …

The design space for high-performance lightweight composite structures has grown
considerably since the advent of the variable stiffness concept. In fact, variable stiffness …

In this research, an analytical Jacobi-Ritz method for the free vibration analysis of composite
laminated rectangular plate subject to arbitrary boundary conditions is proposed. The …

The global buckling and wrinkling behavior of sandwich plates with anisotropic facesheets is
investigated by means of a linearized stability analysis. High-order plate models are …

Aero-thermo-elastic flutter and divergence analyses of functionally graded (FG) porous skew
plates subjected to supersonic airflow are investigated in this study. The material properties …

The current paper aims to analyze the influence on the critical buckling loads of the non-
uniform distribution of the oriented fibers along the thickness direction of three-phase …

A novel formulation for the linear buckling analysis of multilayered shells is presented. High-
order equivalent-single-layer shell theories based on the through-the-thickness expansion …

A semi-analytical method is developed for the analysis of composite stiffened panels, where
stiffness variability is achieved through a combination of fiber steering and curvilinear …

A multi-domain eXtended Ritz formulation, called X-Ritz, for the analysis of buckling and
post-buckling of stiffened panels with cracks is presented. The theoretical framework is …
