A review is made of the different approaches used for modeling multilayered composite
shells. Discussion focuses on different approaches for developing two-dimensional shear …

The present paper is devoted to a state-of-the-art review on the computational treatment of
laminated composite and sandwich panels. Over two hundred texts have been included in …

In this paper, a non-uniform rational B-spline based iso-geometric finite element method is
used to study the static and dynamic characteristics of functionally graded material (FGM) …

An effective, simple, robust and locking-free plate formulation is proposed to analyze the
static bending, buckling, and free vibration of homogeneous and functionally graded plates …

Finite element models of the continuum‐based theories and two‐dimensional plate/shell
theories used in the analysis of composite laminates are reviewed. The classical and shear …

Modeling of mechanical behavior of plates has been accomplished in the past decades, with
different numerical strategies including the finite element and meshfree methods, and with a …

In this paper, the linear free flexural vibration of cracked functionally graded material plates
is studied using the extended finite element method. A 4-noded quadrilateral plate bending …

We present new numerical results in buckling failure analysis of cracked composite
functionally graded plates subjected to uniaxial and biaxial compression loads. An accurate …

The effect of moisture concentration and the thermal gradient on the free flexural vibration
and buckling of laminated composite plates are investigated. The effect of a centrally located …

Large amplitude free flexural vibrations of laminated orthotropic plates are studied using C 0
shear flexible QUAD-8 plate element. The nonlinear governing equations are solved using …
