Abstract: Interfacial damage is incorporated in the proposed nonlinear theory. for composite laminated shells. A spring-layer model is employed to characterize damaged interfaces spanning from perfect bonding ...

Abstract: Exact explicit eigenvalues are found for compression buckling, hygrothermal buckling, and vibration of sandwich plates with dissimilar facings and functionally graded plates via analogy with membrane vibration. These results ...

Abstract: The harmonic vibration problem of functionally graded plates is studied by means of a three-dimensional asymptotic theory formulated in terms of transfer matrix. Instead of using multiple time scales expansion, the frequency ...

Abstract: Rigorous kinematical analysis offers a general representation of displacement variation through thickness of multilayered plates, which allows discontinuous distribution of displacements across each ...
