Optimization of Postbuckling-Stiffened Composite Aerostructures
No full textExperimental and numerical evidence has shown that the occurrence of secondary instabilities, or mode-jumping, can have a detrimental effect on the structural integrity of thin-skinned stiffened composite panels. The sudden release of energy has been shown to initiate skin-stiffener debonding, leading to catastrophic fracture. As a consequence, it is common practice to increase the skin thickness in vulnerable areas, leading to non-optimal, i.e., heavier, structures. In this chapter, an optimization framework is presented which couples nonlinear high-fidelity finite element modelling, which is capable of capturing mode-jumping and the evolution and propagation of damage, with a genetic algorithm for use in the design of efficient and robust postbuckling composite structures.</p

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
