Abstract By means of Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) curves, it is possible to
describe arbitrary shapes with holes and discontinuities. These peculiar shapes can be …

The free vibration analysis of laminated nanocomposite plates and shells using first‐order
shear deformation theory and the generalized differential quadrature method is presented …

The static response of composite plates and shells reinforced by agglomerated
nanoparticles made of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) is investigated in the present paper. A two …

This article is firstly concerned with bending and free vibration analyses of in-plane bi-
directional functionally graded (IBFG) plates with variable thickness in the framework of …

The paper presents a large parametric investigation on the bending response of
Functionally Graded (FG) polymer composite curved beams reinforced by graphene …

In the present contribution a general formulation is proposed to account for general
boundary conditions within the dynamic analysis of anisotropic laminated doubly-curved …

Many review articles were published on free vibration and buckling of laminated composites,
sandwich plates, and shells. The present article reviews the literature on the buckling and …
