Abstract: In this paper, the parameters influencing the stress distribution around regular polygon cutouts in orthotropic plates and symmetrical composite laminates are studied, and then the genetic algorithm is used to determine the optimal values of… read more here.

Abstract: We study the crushing strength of brittle materials whose internal structure (e.g., mineral particles or graining) presents a layered arrangement reminiscent of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Taking a discrete-element approach, we probe the failure strength… read more here.
