...Jiang Xie; Haolei Mou; Xuan Su; Zhenyu Feng Purpose This paper aims to present an evaluation method for energy-absorption characteristics of thin-walled composite structures with random uncertain parameters. Design/methodology/approach The mechanical properties of T700/3234 are obtained...

... fluctuate during operation. In addition, there always exist manufacturing errors in the aircraft shape. Without considering these uncertainties, the aerodynamic design solution obtained by the deterministic optimization method may be highly sensitive to fluctuations of these uncertain parameters, which may...
