This paper discusses the use of the Murakami zig-zag function (MZZF) in the two- dimensional modeling of multilayered plates and shells. A literature overview of the …
AN ADVANTAGE of functionally graded materials (FGMs) over laminated composites is that the material properties vary continuously in an FGM (Fig. 1 indicates the reference system …
E Carrera, A Ciuffreda - Composite Structures, 2005 - Elsevier
This work uses a unified formulation to compare about 40 theories for multilayered, composites and sandwich plates which are loaded by transverse pressure with various in …
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 discusses the FEM use of Murakami zig–zag function (MZZF) in the two- dimensional modeling of multilayered plates. A literature overview is first conducted on the …
