Special 2-D and 3-D Geometrically Nonlinear Finite Elements for Analysis of Adhesively Bonded Joints
Finite element models have been successfully used to analyze adhesive bonds in actual structures, but this takes a considerable amount of time and a high computational cost. The objective of this study is to develop a simple and cost-effective finite element model for adhesively bonded joints which …

A new scheme for the optimum design of stiffened composite panels with geometric imperfections
… which are among the most utilized structural elements in engineering, possess the unfortunate property of being highly sensitive to geometrical imperfections. Existing analysis codes are able to predict the nonlinear postbuckling behavior of a structure with specified imperfections. However, …
