Braced Double Skinned Structure in Lunar Application
A parametric study is designed to evaluate a proposed Braced Double Skinned roof structure utilizing extrapolated theoretical solutions i.e. Navier's solution and Levy's solution. A Finite...

Modal Interaction in the Response of Laminates
A higher-order shear-deformation theory is used to analyze the interaction of two modes in the response of thick laminated rectangular plates to transverse harmonic loads. The case of...

Comparison of Donnell and Higher Order Nonlinear Models for Dynamically Loaded Composite Plates and Shells
The dynamic buckling behavior of composite cylindrical shells subjected to a transverse point load is considered. The behavior of undamped cylindrical shells of varying radii is analyzed...

Postbuckling Response of Doubly-Curved Shallow Panels Under Complex Loading Conditions
The static postbuckling of laminated doubly-curved shallow panels subjected to the complex action of a system of in-plane compressive edge loads and a transverse pressure field is investigated....

Allowable Design Loads for Marman Clamp Systems
Marman clamp separation systems have many aerospace applications. One of their most important applications is in the attachment of spacecraft to expendable launch vehicles. Because their...

Axisymmetric Vibrations of Thick-Walled Cylindrical Tubes in the Presence of Thermal Residual Stresses
The paper presents an approach to the analysis of axisymmetric vibrations of thick-walled specially orthotropic multilayered cylindrical tubes. The first part of the paper is concerned...

Inelastic Response of Metal Matrix Composite Tubes
An analytical method which exactly satisfies the equations of the boundary value problem for the inelastic response of laminated metal matrix composite tubes on a point-wise basis is presented....

Thermal Stresses in Piezoelectric Materials: A Boundary Integral Formulation
With the increasing use of piezoelectric materials in electromechanical devices which are often required to function in thermally hostile environment, thermal stresses and their influence...

Convergence Rates of the Method of Successive Elastic Solutions in Thermoplastic Problems of a Layered Concentric Cylinder
This paper examines convergence rates of the method of successive elastic solutions, proposed by Mendelson, in determining the thermoplastic response of an arbitrarily layered concentric...

Spacecraft Wall Design for Orbital Debris Impact
This paper describes a method for obtaining the optimal rise angle of corrugated bumpers for the design of space structures in the event of an on-orbit impact. The procedure determines...

Implementation of a Viscoplastic, Kinematic Hardening Constitutive Model for Impact Prediction
This paper reports on a preliminary study to determine the significance of the Bauschinger effect on modeling impact and other large deformation events. Such events have significant implications...

Distributional Information for Ejection Fragments
Due to lack of experience of building structures on the lunar surface and the variability that will exist in the loading as well as the structural resistance, it is suggested that initial...

Erectable Truss Hardware for Large Space Structures
The KATLOK connector is a truss structure connector that was designed to be compatible with manual assembly by an astronaut in an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) suit, telerobotic assembly...

TOPAZ II Qualification and Nuclear Testing Program
This paper presents an overview of the Topaz II qualification and nuclear test program. The program combines the joint efforts and resources of Russian and American specialists and organizations...

A Generic Inflatable Structure for a Lunar/Martian Base
The first steps in the human expansion into space, which inevitably will occur during the next century, consist of the establishment of a human-tended base on the Moon followed by human...

Safety Assessment of a Chemical Reactor Vessel
The potential explosion loadings on a chemical reactor vessel is described in this paper. The potential loads presented provide a basis for designing spherical storage vessels which will...

The Inelastic Response of an Offshore Platform in Hurricane Andrew
Amoco's Gulf of Mexico South Timbalier 161A platform took a direct hit from Hurricane Andrew in August of 1992, experiencing loads which far exceeded its design load. The platform had...

Nonlinear Collapse of Offshore Jacket Structures
The Joint Industry Tubular Frames Project was established with ten oil industry sponsors to investigate the reserve and residual strength of frames typical of offshore structures. To date...

Load Duration Effects in an 85-Year-Old Timber Structure
Duration of load (DOL) effects are assessed in 85-year-old heavy timber trusses using five common DOL models. These models are based on the idea of static damage accumulation. Material...

Dynamic Loading of a Rigid Frame Bridge
The objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamic response of a rigid frame bridge to two trucks (side by side) passing over the rough bridge deck. The rigid frame bridge is designed...
