...Christian Mittelstedt Thin-walled beams made of laminated composite materials are increasingly used in any engineering branch where structural weight is one of the major aspects in the design process of load bearing structures. Quite naturally, when composite materials are being employed, analysis...

...Isaac Elishakoff This paper is inspired by two articles on the title subject, namely by Koiter and by Sugiyama, Langthjem and Ryu. The former warned the engineering community to beware of the above forces. The latter maintained that these forces are realistic. It is hoped that this review sheds...
