The spinning solar sail of large scale has been well developed in recent years. Such a solar sail can be considered as a rigid-flexible multibody system mainly
A new 4-node quadrilateral flat shell element is developed for geometrically nonlinear analyses of thin and moderately thick laminated shell structures.The flat
Delaminations in structures may significantly reduce the stiffness and strength of the structures and may affect their vibration characteristics. As structural
Prediction of wrinkling characteristics is strongly correlated with the strain perpendicular to wrinkling direction.In this paper,the strain field of wrinkled m
