Relative performance of antisymmetric angle-ply laminated stiffened hypar shell roofs with cutout in terms of static behavior

Puja B. Chowdhury, Anirban Mitra, Sarmila Sahoo (2016)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

A review of literature reveals that bending analysis of laminated composite stiffened hypar shells with cutout have not received due attention. Being a doubly ruled surface, a skewed hypar shell fulfils aesthetic as well as ease of casting requirements. Further, this shell allows entry of north light making it suitable as civil engineering roofing units. Hypar shell with cutout subjected to uniformly distributed load exhibits improved performances with stiffeners. Hence relative performances...

Epitaxially strained elastic films: the case of anisotropic surface energies

Marco Bonacini (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In the context of a variational model for the epitaxial growth of strained elastic films, we study the effects of the presence of anisotropic surface energies in the determination of equilibrium configurations. We show that the threshold effect that describes the stability of flat morphologies in the isotropic case remains valid for weak anisotropies, but is no longer present in the case of highly anisotropic surface energies, where we show that the flat configuration is always a local...

Using symbolic computation in the characterization of frictional instabilities involving orthotropic materials

Mohamed A. Agwa, António Pinto da Costa (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The present work addresses the problem of determining under what conditions the impending slip state or the steady sliding of a linear elastic orthotropic layer or half space with respect to a rigid flat obstacle is dynamically unstable. In other words, we search the conditions for the occurrence of smooth exponentially growing dynamic solutions with perturbed initial conditions arbitrarily close to the steady sliding state, taking the system away from the equilibrium state or the steady...
