Use of Material Tailoring to Improve Axial Load Capacity of Elliptical Composite Cylinders
… Post-buckling collapse behavior and material failure characteristics are also of interest. Two approaches to implementing a circumferential variation of lamination are examined. For the first approach the lamination sequence is varied in a stepwise fashion around the circumference. …

Crack path selection in microstructurally tailored inhomogeneous polymers
… study crack path selection problems. The model material which we are using is a polyethylene co-polymer, ECO, whose photosensitive behavior allows alterations in its mechanical properties when subjected to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. It is seen that ECO becomes stiffer but more brittle upon UV …

Improvement of the axial buckling capability of elliptical cylindrical shells
… and uses a unique re-defining of the orthotropic material properties in terms of a so-called geometric mean isotropic (GMI) material. Closed-form expressions for the buckling stress in terms of cylinder geometry and orthotropic material properties are presented, the particular closed form …
