The present conference on structures encompasses damage tolerance in composites, buckling in shells and cylinders, computational structural mechanics, the analysis of composite panels with cutouts, postbuckling in plates, adaptive structures, and structural risk. Specific issues addressed include the analysis of delamination in postbuckled dropped-ply laminates, the nonlinear bending response of thin-walled laminated composite cylinders, the global/local finite-element analysis of geometrically nonlinear structures, a Rayleigh-Ritz design methodology for cutouts in composite structures, and general plate stability using high-order techniques. Also addressed are an adaptive S-method in linear elastostatics, adaptive structures programs for the Strategic Defense Initiative organization, the damping of large space structures with large-stroke adaptive stiffness cables, system reliability and risk assessment, and the application of the variational-asymptotical method to composite plates.
