The subject of the paper is modelling of complex damage behaviour of laminated glass,
which is a sandwiched polymer composite. Last 20 years have witnessed extensive growth …

A new trigonometric shear deformation theory for isotropic and composite laminated and
sandwich plates, is developed. The new displacement field depends on a parameter “m” …

The nonlinear free and forced vibration analyses of variable stiffness composite laminated
(VSCL) and sandwich shell panels having curvilinear fibres, not yet reported in literature, are …

In the present paper, a new improved high-order theory is presented for biaxial buckling
analysis of sandwich plates with soft orthotropic core. Third-order plate theory is used for …

In this paper, a variation of Murakami's Zig-Zag theory is proposed for the analysis of
functionally graded plates. The new theory includes a hyperbolic sine term for the in-plane …

In this paper, we propose to use the Murakami's zig-zag theory for the static and vibration
analysis of laminated plates, by local collocation with radial basis functions in a finite …

This paper presents a very flexible variable kinematics modeling technique for composite
structures. The key point is the subdivision of the multilayered cross-section into numerical …

This study proposes a novel sandwich panel with an improved star-shaped honeycomb (SP-
ISH) by replacing sharp corners with cubic struts and lengthening inclined ribs of traditional …

The paper presents a comparison between two existing zigzag functions that are used to
improve equivalent single layer (ESL) theories for the analysis of multilayered composite …

The paper is focused on the vibration and acoustic responses of the sandwich panels
constituted of orthotropic materials applied a concentrated harmonic force in a high …
