This paper investigates the use of isogeometric analysis (IGA) to study high velocity impact on a transonic compressor rotor resulting from a bird strike. An approach is developed for creating volumetric NURBS blade models which are suitable for IGA. A newly implemented 3D solid ...
The daedalos project was supported by the european commission under the programme transport (including aeronautics) of the 7th framework programme for research and technological development, grant agreement no: 266411. Daedalos stands for dynamics in aircraft engineering design a ...
Shell structures are used as primary structures of space launch vehicles. These structures are thin-walled and are thus prone to buckling when loaded in compression. Because of the imperfection sensitivity of these structures, small deviations of the real shell from the theoretic ...
The durability and damage tolerance of postbuckled composite structures are issues that are not completely understood and remain difficult to predict due to the nonlinearity of the geometric response and its interaction with local damage modes. A research effort was undertaken to ...
A semi-analytical approach is presented for the analysis and optimization of laminated panels with nonsymmetric lay-ups, and with the possibility of introducing requirements on the buckling load, the postbuckling response and the eigenfrequencies. The design strategy relies on th ...
