The review outlines modern trends in theoretical developments, novel designs and modern
applications of sandwich structures. The most recent work published at the time of writing of …

The thermo-mechanical bending behavior of the antisymmetric cross-ply laminates is
examined using a new simple four variable trigonometric plate theory. The proposed theory …

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 …

This work presents a simplified higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for thermal
buckling analysis of cross-ply laminated composite plates. Unlike the existing HSDT, the …

This research is devoted to investigate the bending and free vibration behaviour of
laminated composite/sandwich plates and shells, by applying an analytical model based on …

In this study, the inverse finite element method (iFEM) is experimentally applied to real-time
displacement reconstruction of a moderately thick wing-shaped sandwich structure via a …

The inverse finite element method (iFEM) is an innovative framework for dynamic tracking of
full-field structural displacements and stresses in structures that are instrumented with a …

In this study, damage evolution in glass/carbon fiber hybrid composites with various stacking
sequences is investigated under pure bending and tensile loading conditions. Based on the …

The real-time reconstruction of the displacement and stress fields from discrete-location
strain measurements is a fundamental feature for monitoring systems, which is generally …

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 …
