Optimum crashworthiness design of grid-stiffened composite fuselage structures

In this study, a tool was developed for incorporating crashworthiness into the preliminary design of grid-stiffened composite fuselage structures. The crash analysis of a fuselage structure was simplified through the development of a global-local procedure, which reduces the computational requiremen...
