Owing to their high strengths and stiffnesses, carbon fibre reinforced composites (CFRC) are
widely used in aerospace engineering for lightweight structural designs. The introduction of …

In this paper, a FSDT meshfree method based on the 3D continuous shell theory and
moving-least squares approximation is proposed for the first time to investigate the free …

This study deals with the nonlinear static analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotubes
reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) truncated conical shells subjected to axial load based on …

Cone-shaped sandwich structures are extensively employed in various fields due to their
excellent bearing efficiency and designability. In this work, the design approach and …

The main purpose of this study is to give a numerical solution for static buckling problem of
circular cylindrical panels, conical panels, conical shells and circular cylindrical shells under …

Thin-walled cylindrical shells are prone to buckling under axial compression. The load-
carrying capacity of the shells can thus be significantly reduced. It's well known that the …

The buckling of generally laminated conical shells having thickness variations under axial
compression is investigated. This problem usually arises in the filament wound conical …

The vibration characteristics, including fundamental frequencies and loss factors, of a
sandwich conical shell with constrained viscoelastic layer is presented. The mechanical …

This paper deals with the elastoplastic buckling analysis of shell geometries traditionally
encountered in pressure vessels subjected to external pressure loading. The objective is to …

The dual-axis buckling of Laminated composite skew hyperbolic paraboloid with cutouts
subjected to the in-plane biaxial and the shear load is investigated for various boundary …
