This paper describes an alternative finite element model that would yield more accurate results in the prediction of the behavior of Profiled Steel Sheet Dry Board (PSSDB) folded plate structures, which can be considered as an improvement of an earlier proposed model. The PSSDB folded plate structures are being proposed as an alternative to traditional forms of roof construction.The PSSDB syste...

The partially prefabricated laminated (RC) walls mentioned is this kind of seismic prevention element with part prefabricated concrete plate and cast in place concrete plate. 4 typical laminated walls without openings, 4 laminated walls with openings, and 1 common cast-in-place RC walls were tested under cyclic test. The seismic behaviour were analysed by the finite element software based on th...

the present paper investigates the advantages of a new class of composite grid structures over conventional grids. thus far, a known grid structure such as orthogrid or isogrid has been used as an orthotropic layer with at most in-plane anisotropy. the present laminated grid is composed of various numbers of thin composite grid layers. the stiffness of the structure can be adjusted by choosing ...

The strain of an optical fiber, embedded in a composite laminated plate, was measured using radio frequency iiiterferometery. While the response of a similar fiber glued to the plate was linear with the applied loading, the strain experienced by the embedded fiber exhibited significant fluctuations around the linear expected trend. This phenomenon is qualitatively described in terms ofpolarizat...

Laminated composite plates are widely used in modern structures. Resins of composites are almost made of polymers which show time dependent and and in some cases stress dependent behaviour. In this paper, a laminated composite plate is analysed using a multiscale method. At first, material properties of a lamina is obtained using an analytical micromechanical approach called simplified unit cel...

In this paper, a combination method has been developed by coupling Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGA) and Finite Element Method (FEM). This method has been applied for determination of the optimal stacking sequence of laminated composite plate against buckling. The most important parameters in optimization of a laminated composite plate such as, angle, thickness, number, and material of ...

An analytical and numerical solution for the free vibration of laminated polymeric composite plates with different layups is studied in this paper. The governing equations of the laminated composite plates are derived from the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). General layups are evaluated by the assumption of cross-ply and angle-p...
