A variationally and asymptotically consistent theory is developed in order to derive the
governing equations of anisotropic thin-walled beams with closed sections. The theory is …

To overcome many of the problems associated with conventional articulated rotor systems,
new rotor systems are being contemplated. In this paper, the state-of-art technology of …

The results from an in-house study aimed at improving the dynamic and aerodynamic
characteristics of composite rotor blades through the use of extension-twist elastic coupling …

An unsteady vortex lattice method has been applied to the rotor aeroelasticity problem in
hover and in forward flight. This procedure is an improvement over the classical two …

Delamination related fracture processes in composite materials are discussed. Thermal and
moisture influences on the free-edge delamination of laminated composites, fracture …
