The paper presents an application of the extended Refined Zigzag Theory (eRZT) in
conjunction with the Ritz method to the analysis of bending, free vibration and buckling of …

A new refined theory for laminated composite and sandwich beams that contains the
kinematics of the Timoshenko Beam Theory as a proper baseline subset is presented. This …

This study presents a novel non-local model for the stress analysis of sandwich plates with a
functionally graded core using Peridynamic Differential Operator (PDDO) and Refined …

The vibration characteristics of variable-stiffness based composite curved beams with
general layups are examined using a higher-order beam theory that accounts for three …

Abstract The Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT) belongs to the zigzag class of approximations for
the analysis of laminated composite and sandwich structures. This paper presents the …

The present work aims to investigate the bending analysis of sandwich and laminated
carbon nanotube coated–fiber multi-scale composite (CFMC) beams employing the Refined …

The paper deals with the development and computational assessment of three-and two-
node beam finite elements based on the Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT) for the analysis of …

In this study, stress analysis of laminated composite beams is carried out by using Refined
Zigzag Theory (RZT) and Peridynamic Differential Operator (PDDO). The PDDO replaces …
