Data-Driven Support Vector Machine to Predict Thin-Walled Tube Energy Absorbers Behavior

To design a more efficient energy absorber, it is critical to evaluate how changing the design parameters affects its performance, and also determine each one’s order of significance. In this paper, using a new approach, the behavior and response of straight, double-tapered, and triple-tapered thin-walled tubes with rectangular cross sections...

Generation of design allowables on the open hole tensile strength of composite laminates using sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification framework

Aeronautical industries are concerned about the cost effective generation of design allowables for composite laminates. Design allowables take into account the variabilities arising from different sources (material, manufacturing, defects etc.,) which are determined using expensive and time consuming experimental campaigns....
