Composite materials are now used throughout the marine industry but their susceptibility to
impact events is still an unresolved problem. There is a huge body of work in the area …

The aim of this work is to establish a two dimensional (2D) and quasi three dimensional
(quasi-3D) shear deformation theories, which can model the free vibration of FG plates …

This work presents an efficient and original high-order shear and normal deformation theory
for the static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded plates. The Hamilton's …

Bone density reduction occurs when implants are used to arrest fracture propagation. Bones
are stress shielded by the implants when enough loads are not placed on the bones. Stress …

In this work, two dimensional (2D) and quasi three-dimensional (quasi-3D) HSDTs are
proposed for bending and free vibration investigation of functionally graded (FG) plates …

Functionally gradient materials (FGMs) primarily composed of a discretely layered structure
with relatively sharp macroscopic interfaces are highly susceptible to interlayer failure under …

In this study, two dimensional (2D) and quasi three-dimensional (quasi-3D) shear
deformation theories are presented for static and free vibration analysis of single-layer …

Functionally graded materials are an advanced class of composite materials characterized
by spatially varying properties and are designed to optimize the performance through the …

Metal/ceramic functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been increasingly used for impact-
resistant applications because of their ability to combine the strength of both components …

In this study, the low-velocity impact analysis of functionally graded (FG) porous circular
plate reinforced with graphene platelets based on the first-order shear deformation theory is …
