The present article reviews the recent research done on the free vibration analysis of
multilayered laminated composite and sandwich plates using various methods available for …

In engineering, the amount of complex geometrical problems, which needs to be solved by
using plates and shells theories, is remarkable. This is the reason why there are so many …

Here, higher order models of elastic composite multilayer shells of revolution are developed
using the variational principle of virtual power for the 3-D linear anisotropic theory of …

The present paper is devoted to a state-of-the-art review on the computational treatment of
laminated composite and sandwich panels. Over two hundred texts have been included in …

This study investigates and reviews approaches to modelling laminated composite plates. It
explores theories that have been proposed and developed and assesses their suitability …

Abstract The Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) Method is applied to study four
parameter functionally graded and laminated composite shells and panels of revolution. The …

Here, higher order layer-wise models of elastic composite multilayer plates and shells of
revolution are developed using the variational principle of virtual power for the 3-D linear …

Abstract Variable Angle-Tow (VAT) laminates offer a promising alternative to straight fiber
composites. By varying fibers orientation within the structure plane, ambitious design and …

Each displacement component is expanded along the thickness of the plate by using a
powerful compact formulation. Infinite different types of expansions can be independently …

In this work the deformations of a simply supported, functionally graded, rectangular plate
subjected to thermo-mechanical loadings are analysed, extending Unified Formulation by …
