New, unusual and nonclassical behavior of thin-walled composite structures
Abstract
Examples are discussed which illustrated several new, unusual, and nonclassical effects that are present in thin-walled composite structures. Some of the unusual deformation characteristics occur naturally, such as the apparent increased flexibility of thin-walled beam structures due to bending-transverse shear and extension-transverse shear elastic couplings. Others are created intentionally, such as the exaggerated Poisson expansion in the tailored wing covers that produces elastic chordwise camber deformations.
