This study investigates the stability and failure analysis of thin-walled composite plate
elements weakened by cut-out and subjected to axial compression. Tested plates were …

Aeroelastic optimization has become an indispensable component in the evaluation of
divergence and flutter characteristics for plated/shell structures. The present paper intends to …

This study investigated thin-walled plate elements with a central cut-out under axial
compression. The plates were manufactured from epoxy/carbon laminate (CFRP) with an …

Optimum structural design of composites is a research subject that has drawn the attention
of many researchers for more than 40 years with a growing interest. In this study, a review of …

Driven by a need to improve the efficiency of aircraft and reduce the fuel consumption,
composite materials are applied extensively in the design of aircraft. A dynamic aeroelastic …

A novel finding about effects of moisture and cyclic hygrothermal conditions on the impact
resistance of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy polymer (CFRP) composites are presented. The …

The aim of the paper is to experimentally validate a numerical design methodology for
optimizing composite wings subject to gust and fatigue loading requirements and to assess …

Composite materials are increasingly used in hydrodynamic lifting surfaces due to their
higher specific strength and favorable fatigue properties. A set of parametric studies are …

In this paper, we present an aero‐structural model of a tethered swept wing for airborne
wind energy generation. The carbon composite wing has neither fuselage nor actuated …

This paper provides a brief overview of the state-of-the-art for aeroelastic tailoring of
subsonic transport aircraft and offers additional resources on related research efforts …
