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

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 …

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 …

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 …

The paper deals with the development and computational assessment of three-and two-
node beam finite elements based on the Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT) for the analysis of …

The paper presents an efficient numerical approach to deal with the hybrid damping
vibration control of laminated functionally graded carbon-nanotube reinforced composite …

This paper presents a novel and comprehensive numerical approach for nonlinear analysis
and smart damping control in laminated functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced …

The paper presents a review of Haar wavelet methods and an application of the higher-
order Haar wavelet method to study the behavior of multilayered composite beams under …

A highly accurate and computationally attractive shear-deformation theory for
homogeneous, laminated composite, and sandwich laminates is developed for the linearly …

A mixed-field Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT (m)) for laminated plates is presented. The theory
is developed using Reissner's Mixed Variational Theorem (RMVT) and employs the …
