This research is devoted to investigate the bending and free vibration behaviour of
laminated composite/sandwich plates and shells, by applying an analytical model based on …

In the present work, the dynamic behaviour of laminated anisotropic doubly-curved shells
characterized by a generalized distribution of the material orientation angle is investigated …

In this study, damage evolution in glass/carbon fiber hybrid composites with various stacking
sequences is investigated under pure bending and tensile loading conditions. Based on the …

This paper presents a novel and comprehensive numerical approach for nonlinear analysis
and smart damping control in laminated functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced …

After conducting a comprehensive historical review of presently established methods for
computational modeling of multilayered bending plates, the present work introduces a novel …

Increasing applications of laminated composite structures necessitate the development of
equivalent single layer (ESL) models that can achieve similar accuracy but are more …

This study presents an accurate mixed variational formulation for the stress analysis of
laminated composite plates based on Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT). A two-field variational …

Laminated composites are prone to delamination failure due to the lack of reinforcement
through the thickness. Therefore, during the design process the initiation and propagation of …

This paper investigates the coupling hygrothermo-mechanical behaviors of viscoelastic
composite laminated plates by using a higher-order zigzag theory. All in-plane …
