This paper provides an overview of the modeling approaches adopted over the years to
develop shell theories for composite structures. Furthermore, it presents a method to assess …

Present analysis, deals with dynamic buckling of sandwich nano plate (SNP) subjected to
harmonic compressive load based on nonlocal elasticity theory. The material properties of …

A model is proposed to evaluate the effects of explosions on laminated glass plates, made of
glass plies bonded by thin polymeric interlayers, in the pre-glass-breakage phase. The …

First-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is less accurate compared to higher-order
theories like higher-order zigzag theory (HOZT). In case of large-scale simulation-based …

The accuracy of a wavelet depends on the choice of the mother wavelet adopted. The
present work aims to predict the free vibration behavior of laminated sandwich plates using …

In this manuscript the frequencies of micro and nano fiber-metal laminate (FML) cylindrical
shells based on modified couple stress theory (MCST) have been obtained. Love's first …

A modified higher-order zigzag theory (HOZT) is proposed for static analysis of laminated
composites/sandwich shells, which accounts for transverse shear and normal strain. In …

This paper studies the dynamic behavior of laminated composite circular cylindrical shells
interacting with a fluid. The mathematical formulation of the dynamic problem for an elastic …

Sandwich composite beams are widely used in variety fields. A typical sandwich composite
beam includes a soft core covered by two stiff face layers. For such beam structures, large …

Abstract Piezoelectric Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Functionally Graded (P-CNT-FG)
structures have great application potential in aerospace for vibration control. The precise …
