...Izzet Cagdas; Sarp Adali Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the optimal design of a simply supported variable curvature laminated angle-ply composite panel under uniaxial compression. The objective is to maximize the failure load which is defined as the minimum of the buckling load...

...D. Roy Mahapatra; S. Suresh; S.N. Omkar; S. Gopalakrishnan Purpose To develop a new method for estimation of damage configuration in composite laminate structure using acoustic wave propagation signal and a reduction‐prediction neural network to deal with high dimensional spectral data. Design...

...Roberto Spallino; Giuseppe Giambanco; Santi Rizzo This paper is devoted to the optimal design of laminated composite structures. The goal of the study is to assess the quality and the performance of an algorithm based on the directional derivative method. Particular attention is paid to the one...
