A novel variable stiffness optimization (VSO) algorithm is proposed accounting for the
inherent mechanical characteristics of variable angle tow (VAT) plates. Through sampling in …

In this paper, a mathematical model for the effect of different torsion-bending ratios on
buckling and failure loads under complex operating conditions was proposed, and the …

Variable angle fiber composites provide large design space for multi-stable structures.
However, they require reliable numerical models to accurately predict their mechanical …

The buckling mode of helicoidal composite panel are non-axisymmetric, resulting its
different capability to resist loads in different orientation and the irregular buckling mode …

A variable stiffness optimization (VSO) algorithm is presented for optimizing variable-
