The present article reviews the recent research done on the free vibration analysis of
multilayered laminated composite and sandwich plates using various methods available for …

In engineering, the amount of complex geometrical problems, which needs to be solved by
using plates and shells theories, is remarkable. This is the reason why there are so many …

This study brings to readers the generalized formulation of three-variable plate theory and
an efficient computational approach for analyzing plates. The theory not only has three …

A large variety of plate theories are described and assessed in the present work to evaluate
the bending and vibration of sandwich structures. A brief survey of available works is first …

Each displacement component is expanded along the thickness of the plate by using a
powerful compact formulation. Infinite different types of expansions can be independently …

The paper proposes a comparative study between different analytical and numerical three-
dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) shell models for the bending analysis of …

This new work proposes an exact three-dimensional static analysis of plates and shells. One-
layered and multilayered isotropic, orthotropic, sandwich and composite structures are …

A layerwise finite element formulation of a newly developed higher-order shear deformation
theory for the flexure of thick multilayered plates is presented. The proposed trigonometric …

Most of the existing methods for sandwich plates are only suitable for a particular type of
boundaries which typically require modifications in solution procedures to adapt different …

This article reviews state-of-art solution methodologies for structural analysis of composites.
The use of composites and advance composite in the design of structures has contributed to …
