Abstract: An exact three-dimensional solution for the problem of a simply supported rectangular homogeneous piezoelectric plate is obtained, in the framework of the linear theory of piezoelectricity. The ...

Abstract: In this paper the four classical Hashin-Shtrikman variational principles, applied to the homogenization problem for periodic composites with a nonlinear hyperelastic constitutive behavior, are ...

Abstract: A layer-wise theory of laminated plates, which accounts for piecewise constant shear strain in the thickness, is derived from the three-dimensional elasticity theory by imposing suitable constraints ...
