Laminated composite and sandwich structures are lightweight structures that can be found
in many diverse applications especially civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering. The …

Laminated composite straight and curved beams are frequently used in various engineering
applications. This work attempts to review most of the research done in recent years (1989 …

Vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is usually among the top five attributes in
terms of its priority in the design of automotive vehicles. Its priority in other types of vehicles …

Advances in energy harvesting techniques, along with low-power electronic devices open
up the possibility of developing self-powered engineering systems. Most existing energy …

This paper presents a new class of refined beam theories for static and dynamic analysis of
composite structures. These beam models are obtained by implementing higher-order …

In this paper, the large-amplitude (geometrically nonlinear) vibrations of rotating, laminated
composite circular cylindrical shells subjected to radial harmonic excitation in the …

This paper presents a unified formulation for vibration and damping analysis of a sandwich
beams made up of laminated composite face sheets and a viscoelastic core with arbitrary …

A number of refined beam theories are discussed in this paper to trace the free vibration
response of laminated beams, including thin-walled boxes. By expanding the unknown …

Free vibration analysis of cross-ply laminated shallow curved beams is carried out by using
the dynamic stiffness method. Hamilton's principle is adopted to derive the governing …

In this work, a third-order efficient layerwise theory (ELWT) has been developed for
laminated composite and sandwich curved beams of deep curvatures. The circumferential …
