Analysis and design of composite curved frames

In this work, methods for rapid analysis and design of composite curved C-section frames subjected to axial tensile loading are developed. Failure is predicted using polynomial in-plane and interlaminar failure criteria. Interlaminar stresses can be directly computed only from three-dimensional fini...
