Thesis Topic:
Stability analysis of composite sandwich structure using EHSAPT.
Objective:
Extend the existing solution of Extended Higher-order Sandwich Plate Theory
(EHSAPT) by incorporating the effects of buckling/stability.
Areas of Application:
Major use of this research will be in aviation industry for designing and analysis of
aerospace structures. Moreover, this approach can also be used anywhere where composite
structures are used such as naval structures, tank structures etc.
