The advent of novel robot-assisted composite manufacturing techniques has enabled
steering of fibre paths in the plane of the lamina, leading to the emergence of the so-called …

The functional advantages of tailored stiffness, often seen in nature, are also utilized in
composite structures. Advancements in the multiaxis tow placement and automated fiber …

We present a mixed integration point (MIP) formulation for hyperelastic isogeometric
Kirchhoff–Love shells. While previous works have proposed mixed integration point …

The optimal design of the postbuckling response of variable angle tow composite structures
is an important consideration for future lightweight, high-performing structures. Based on this …

In large rotation analyses of beams and shells with displacement-based discretization, the
iterative burden grows considerably with the membrane/flexural stiffness ratio. For linear …

Abstract Isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love elements have been receiving increasing attention in
geometrically nonlinear analysis of thin shells because they make it possible to meet the C 1 …

Variable-angle filament-wound (VAFW) cylinders are herein optimized for minimum mass
under manufacturing constraints, and for various design loads. A design parameterization …

In this paper, biomimetic continuous fiber reinforced composite structures were modeled and
printed on the basis of variable distributions of fiber orientation and the fiber volume fraction …

A modified method is proposed for the consistent imperfection method, which introduces the
shape of the first-order linear buckling mode of a spatial structure as the imperfection pattern …

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