Behavior of Metallic and Composite Structures (Second Volume) : Mdpi AG : 9783036514925 : 3036514929 : 10 Sep 2021 : Various types of metallic and composite structures are used in modern engineering practice. For aerospace, car industry, and civil engineering applications, the most important are thin-walled structures made of dierent types of metallic alloys, brous composites, laminates, and multifunctional materials with a more complicated geometry of reinforcement including nanoparticles or nanobres. The current applications in modern engineering require analysis of structures of various properties, shapes, and sizes (e.g., aircra???? wings) including structural hybrid joints, subjected to dierent types of loadings, including quasi-static, dynamic, cyclic, thermal, impact, penetration, etc. The advanced metallic and composite structures should satisfy multiple structural functions during operating conditions. Structural functions include mechanical properties such as strength, stines
