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 …

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

The paper presents an application of the extended Refined Zigzag Theory (eRZT) in
conjunction with the Ritz method to the analysis of bending, free vibration and buckling of …

In the present work, the dynamic behaviour of laminated anisotropic doubly-curved shells
characterized by a generalized distribution of the material orientation angle is investigated …

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 …

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 …

This study presents a novel non-local model for the stress analysis of sandwich plates with a
functionally graded core using Peridynamic Differential Operator (PDDO) and Refined …

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 …

This paper presents a large deformation Kirchhoff–Love shell model hierarchically
enhanced with through-the-thickness warping functions, arbitrarily chosen by the user. Two …
