It is very challenging to accurately analyze the displacement and stress fields in the
laminated composite structures due to the transverse anisotropy and higher transverse …

A review of displacement and stress based refined theories for isotropic and anisotropic
laminated plates is presented. Various equivalent single layer and layerwise theories for …

The designed fracture of laminated glass (LG) makes it useful for architectural, glazing,
automotive safety, photovoltaic, ultraviolet ray protection, and decorative applications. The …

This review is conducted with emphasis on the analysis performed for laminated composite
plates that are subjected to blast loads. A general discussion and classification of the …

Multilayer structures often present a challenge for equivalent single layer theories which are
based on single displacement approximation through the thickness. This chapter first …

A six-node, plane-stress mixed finite element model has been developed by using
Hamilton's energy principle for the natural vibrations of laminated composite beams …

The aim of this work is the development of a 2D quadrilateral isoparametric finite element
model, based on a layerwise approach, for the bending analysis of sandwich plates. The …

The bending analysis of sandwich plates consisting of very stiff face sheets and a
comparatively flexible core material offers challenge due to large variation in the magnitude …

In this study, analytical solutions are derived for three-dimensional, transversely isotropic
and multilayered isosceles-right triangular plates under simply supported edge conditions …

A layerwise, mixed, 18-node finite-element (FE) model has been developed to analyze
laminated composite plates by using the minimum potential energy principle. Continuity of …
