Laminated beams/shafts of annular cross-section subject to combined loading (2022)
Journal Article
Li, S., Johnson, M. S., Sitnikova, E., Evans, R., & Mistry, P. J. (2023). Laminated beams/shafts of annular cross-section subject to combined loading. Thin-Walled Structures, 182(Part A), Article 110153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tws.2022.110153

A novel stress analysis method is developed for the efficient design of radially laminated annular beams/shafts subject to arbitrary load combinations. The analysis is conducted using classic laminate theory (CLT) in conjunction with a mechanics of m... Read More about Laminated beams/shafts of annular cross-section subject to combined loading.

Controllable parameters as the essential components in the analysis, manufacturing and design of 3D woven composites (2022)
Journal Article
Sitnikova, E., Xu, M., Kong, W., & Li, S. (2022). Controllable parameters as the essential components in the analysis, manufacturing and design of 3D woven composites. Composites Science and Technology, 230, Article 109730. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2022.109730

The comprehensive design feasibility for woven composites has been established by identifying the missing component in the design tool for these materials, the so-called controllable parameters. These are the parameters that are involved, directly or... Read More about Controllable parameters as the essential components in the analysis, manufacturing and design of 3D woven composites.

The Formulation of the Quadratic Failure Criterion for Transversely Isotropic Materials: Mathematical and Logical Considerations (2022)
Journal Article
Li, S., Xu, M., & Sitnikova, E. (2022). The Formulation of the Quadratic Failure Criterion for Transversely Isotropic Materials: Mathematical and Logical Considerations. Journal of Composites Science, 6(3), Article 82. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcs6030082

The quadratic function of the original Tsai–Wu failure criterion for transversely isotropic materials is re-examined in this paper. According to analytic geometry, two of the troublesome coefficients associated with the interactive terms—one between...
