SMA-induced deformations in unsymmetric cross-ply laminates
… for predicting SMA-induced deformations in an unsymmetric cross ply laminate. A previously developed theory is used to predict the room-temperature shape of the cross-ply laminate by minimizing its total potential energy. Then, using the principle of virtual work, equations relating the shape …

Deformations of In-plane Loaded Unsymmetrically Laminated Composite Plates
This study focuses on the response of flat unsymmetric laminates to an inplane compressive loading that for symmetric laminates are of sufficient magnitude to cause bifurcation buckling, postbuckling, and secondary buckling behavior. In particular, the purpose of this study is to investigate …

Deformations of Unsymmetric Composite Panels
This work discusses the deformations of various unsymmetric composite panels due to thermal and mechanical loads. Chapter 2 focuses on the warpage of large unsymmetric curved composite panels due manufacturing anomalies. These panels are subjected to a temperature change of -280°F to simulate the …
