Abstract: A method for the numerical analysis of rectangular plates based on Mindlin's theory is presented. Any two opposite edges are assumed to be simply supported in the present analysis. A variety of boundary conditions including ...

Abstract: A higher-order arch model with seven degrees of freedom per node is proposed to study the deep, shallow, thick, and thin composite and sandwich arches under static loads. The strain field is modeled through cubic axial, ...

Abstract: An attempt is made here to devise a new methodology for an integrated stress analysis of laminated composite plates wherein both in-plane and transverse stresses are evaluated simultaneously. ...
