A new multiple C-slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed in the present study. A patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a ...

The composites provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes. The carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites exhibit excellent fatigue tolerance and high specific strength and stiffness ...

The efficiency and robustness of reliability methods are two important factors in the first-order reliability method (FORM). The conjugate choice control (CCC) and directional chaos control method (DCC) are developed to ...

The finite element method is employed for the flexural-torsional linear buckling analysis of beams of arbitrarily shaped composite cross-section taking into account generalized warping (shear lag effects due to both flexure ...

This study provides an approach to predict the springback phenomenon during post-solidification cooling in a functionally graded hybrid composite cylindrical shell with a transverse isotropic structure. Here, the material ...

Plates and shells are significant structural components in many engineering and industrial applications. In this study, the free vibration analysis of annular plates is investigated. To this aim, two different numerical ...
