Some Approximation Concepts for Structural Synthesis
Lucien A. Schmit,B. Farshi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient automated minimum weight design procedure is presented which is applicable to sizing structural systems that can be idealized by truss, shear panel, and constant strain triangles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural synthesis - Its genesis and development
TL;DR: An historical account is given of the development, from its conception in 1960, of the structural synthesis method, and such elementary applications of synthesis methods as the three-bar truss, an integrally stiffened waffle plate, a stiffened cylindrical shell, and an idealized delta wing are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cylindrical shell discrete element.
TL;DR: In this article, the stiffness and consistent mass matrices for a finite cylindrical shell element are derived based on linear behavior and thin-shell assumptions, and the assumed displacement pattern satisfies the admissibility requirements in the statement of the principle of minimum potential energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimum laminate design for strength and stiffness
Lucien A. Schmit,B. Farshi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for minimum weight optimum design of symmetric fiber-composite laminates subject to multiple in-plane loading conditions which takes into account membrane stiffness requirements and strength limitations is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimum design of laminated fibre composite plates
Lucien A. Schmit,B. Farshi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the minimum weight optimum design of laminated fiber composite plates, subject to multiple inplane loading conditions, which includes stiffness, strength and elastic stability constraints, is presented.
