Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across all length and time scales, and
engineering design principles have commonly aimed at preventing instability. However …

A new data-driven computational framework is developed to assist in the design and
modeling of new material systems and structures. The proposed framework integrates three …

This paper presents a literature compendium about the main studies on the structural
behavior, vulnerability, and risk of industrial silos, as one of the most important players of …

Imperfections from manufacturing process can cause a scattered reduction of the load-
carrying capacity or buckling load of axially compressed cylindrical shell structures. To …

Recent years have seen a research revival in structural stability analysis. This renewed
interest stems from a paradigm shift regarding the role of buckling instabilities in engineering …

For cylindrical shells under axial compression, the essence of initial geometric imperfections
is the superposition of local out-of-plane deformations of various forms, which may facilitate …

Stiffened shells in launch vehicles are very sensitive to various forms of imperfections. In this
study, the imperfection sensitivity of a 4.5 m diam isogrid stiffened shell under axial …

Cylindrical shell is a common structural design solution in many engineering fields, such as
the foundation supporting structures and buoyant column of the offshore wind turbine in the …

The paper investigates the energy absorption performance of a new type of thin-walled
tubes named as origami concave tubes whose cross-sections are concave polygons …

A data-driven computational framework combining Bayesian regression for imperfection-
sensitive quantities of interest, uncertainty quantification and multi-objective optimization is …
