In this study, a two-stage damage identification approach based on modal flexibility differences and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) was applied to localize and quantify damages in large-scale double-layer truss ...

In this article, a vibrational behavior of sandwich beams with stiff and flexible cores and face sheets reinforced with carbon nanotubes is investigated. Carbon nanotubes are used as materials with properties varying along ...

In this paper by employing ANSYS Workbench software and three-dimensional finite element simulation, failure analysis of hybrid bonded and bolted single and double lap joints with laminated composite adherends subjected ...

In this paper, a mixed modeling approach for orthotropic laminated plates is developed. By adopting Hellinger-Reissner functional and dimension reduction method along the thickness, the governing equations were derived. By ...

The aim of this paper is to compare incremental and integral techniques in non-uniform residual stress measurement by the ring-core method and to present a procedure to determine the calibration coefficients of the ...

This paper focuses on reducing stress concentration in a plate with a hole. For this purpose, a novel Reliever Topological Material Elimination (RTME) approach was introduced which uses the topology optimization technique ...
