Abstract: A mixed finite-element scheme based on a discrete layer, high-order deformation theory is proposed, in this paper, for the analysis of thick, doubly curved laminated shells. The three-dimensional (3D) elasticity solutions ...

Abstract: A discrete‐layer, high‐order theory for the stress and displacement analyses of thick, doubly curved laminated shells is presented. The displacements of the shell in the theory are assumed to be layer‐by‐layer high‐order ...
