Free Edge Stress Analysis of Laminated Structures with Arbitrary Cross Sections Using Mechanics of Structure Genome

12 Dec 2016 | Publications | Contributor(s): Lingxuan Zhou

This is the master thesis from Lingxuan Zhou advised by Prof. Yu. In this thesis, free-edge stress analysis of composite laminated structures with arbitrary cross sections is dealt with using mechanics of structure genome (MSG). A cross-sectional analysis specialized from MSG is...
