DEVELOPMENT OF CORRUGATED SHELL STRUCTURE AND STUDY OF ITS EFFECT ON THERMOSET COMPOSITE SHEET

Corrugations are believed to enhance the mechanical properties of a shell structure, but this theory still requires further validation through experimental work on various materials. Even though numerous studies have been conducted on corrugated shell structures, the effect of corrugations on thermo...
