TL;DR: In this paper, a theory is presented which allows for the prediction of the moment levels needed to effect the snap-through event, which is generated by a force and support arrangement attached to the laminate.
186 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a finite-element model is developed to predict the response of pin-loaded composite plates, taking into account contact at the pinhole interface, progressive damage, large deformation theory, and a non-linear shear stress-strain relationship.
166 citations
TL;DR: In this article, an approximate theory based on assumed strain and displacement fields, the Rayleigh-Ritz technique, and virtual work is used to predict the snap-through forces and moments for three families of unsymmetric fiber-reinforced composite laminates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of three-dimensional woven interlock composite plates subjected to impact loading was investigated by conducting several impact tests in the same conditions and the effect of mass and velocity on damage tolerance was studied by varying the impact conditions.

TL;DR: A survey of the advances in strength theory (yield criteria, failure criterion, etc) of materials (including matellic materials, rock, soil, concrete, ice, iron, polymers, energetic material etc) under complex stress was presented in this paper.
Abstract: It is 100 years since the well-know Mohr-Coulomb strength theory was established in 1900. A considerable amount of theoretical and experimental research on strength theory of materials under complex stress state was done in the 20th Century. This review article presents a survey of the advances in strength theory (yield criteria, failure criterion, etc) of materials (including matellic materials, rock, soil, concrete, ice, iron, polymers, energetic material, etc) under complex stress, discusses the relationship among various criteria, and gives a method of choosing a reasonable failure criterion for applications in research and engineering. Three series of strength theories, the unified yield criterion, the unified strength theory, and others are summarized. This review article contains 1163 references regarding the strength theories. This review also includes a biref discussion of the computational implementation of the strength theories and multi-axial fatigue.

TL;DR: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) as discussed by the authors are a unique class of metallic materials with the ability to recover their original shape at certain characteristic temperatures (shape memory effect), even under high applied loads and large inelastic deformations, or to undergo large strains without plastic deformation or failure (super-elasticity).
Abstract: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a unique class of metallic materials with the ability to recover their original shape at certain characteristic temperatures (shape memory effect), even under high applied loads and large inelastic deformations, or to undergo large strains without plastic deformation or failure (super-elasticity). In this review, we describe the main features of SMAs, their constitutive models and their properties. We also review the fatigue behavior of SMAs and some methods adopted to remove or reduce its undesirable effects. SMAs have been used in a wide variety of applications in different fields. In this review, we focus on the use of shape memory alloys in the context of morphing aircraft, with particular emphasis on variable twist and camber, and also on actuation bandwidth and reduction of power consumption. These applications prove particularly challenging because novel configurations are adopted to maximize integration and effectiveness of SMAs, which play the role of an actuator (using the shape memory effect), often combined with structural, load-carrying capabilities. Iterative and multi-disciplinary modeling is therefore necessary due to the fluid–structure interaction combined with the nonlinear behavior of SMAs.

TL;DR: The need for attention directed to the variable stiffness strategy is recognised and the significance of intensive research activities in a highly integrated and multidisciplinary environment emphasised if higher maturity stages of the concepts are to be reached.
