Use of Material Tailoring to Improve Axial Load Capacity of Elliptical Composite Cylinders

This study focuses on the improvement of the axial buckling capacity of elliptical composite cylinders through the use of a circumferentially-varying lamination sequence. The concept of varying the lamination sequence around the circumference is considered as a viable approach for off-setting the di...
