Abstract
Thermomechanical deflections of the cracked multi-layered composite panels were investigated numerically using full-scale geometrical nonlinearity and higher-order deformation kinematics. The panel is embedded with shape memory alloy (SMA) fiber to improve the structural strength and integrity under thermomechanical loadings. The theoretical model for the SMA-reinforced cracked laminated composite shell panel is derived considering the material and geometrical nonlinearity. The numerical and experimental cases were performed for the intact and damaged cylindrical panels by varying the environmental conditions. Additional examples of structural and geometrical parameters have been conducted, including SMA-related data.
