Owing to the improved mechanical properties of composites and functionally graded
materials (FGMs), their applications have been realised in various engineering domains …

This research focuses on the large-amplitude vibration of sigmoid functionally graded
material (S-FGM) thin plates with porosities. Porosities in S-FGM plates can happen due to …

The nonlinear free and forced vibration analyses of variable stiffness composite laminated
(VSCL) and sandwich shell panels having curvilinear fibres, not yet reported in literature, are …

The main aim of this paper is the evaluation of the through-the-thickness profiles of strain,
stress and displacement components of several doubly-curved panels reinforced by …

Theoretical and experimental non-linear vibrations of thin rectangular plates and curved
panels subjected to out-of-plane harmonic excitation are investigated. Experiments have …

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

Significant advances in the field of composite structures continue to be made on a variety of
fronts, including theoretical studies based on advances in structural theory kinematics and …

The modes of vibration of a Variable Stiffness Composite Laminate were obtained by
experimental modal analysis and compared with the ones resulting from theoretical …

The target of this investigation is to understand the aeroelastic (dynamic or static) instability
of variable stiffness composite laminates (VSCLs) in the presence of supersonic airflow. The …

This paper presents the free vibration analysis of composite sandwich plates and doubly
curved shells with variable stiffness. The reinforcing fibers are located in the external skins of …
