Plates, Shells and Their Composite Structures
Abstract: Review of the impact of large nonlinear deformations on plate and shell response. The approach ofmodelling discrete reinforcements and the smeared stiffeners technique suited to stringers with tightspacing are both presented in relation to the analysis of stiffened plates and shells. The behaviour andstrength of plates and shells are demonstrated to be affected by apertures and cut-outs, both locallythrough the localization of stress and globally through the effects on stiffness. …

Using Six-Node Hexagonal Elements to Perform Free Vibration Analysis of Laminated Composite Conoidal, Elliptical Paraboloid, and Hyperbolic Paraboloid Shells
Abstract: Laminated composite structures are one of the recent developments in the field of engineering with high strength and better cost-to-weight ratio over the isotropic materials. The present study is mainly focused on the free vibration analysis of laminated composite shells using six-node hexagonal elements which is the first one of its kind. Three different shells, namely conoidal, elliptical paraboloid and hyperbolic paraboloid, have been analyzed with different support conditions, and …
