Since 1960s, how to develop high‐performance plate bending finite elements based on
different plate theories has attracted a great deal of attention from finite element researchers …

A novel formulation for the linear buckling analysis of multilayered shells is presented. High-
order equivalent-single-layer shell theories based on the through-the-thickness expansion …

A novel numerical method for the analysis of multilayered shells with cut-outs is presented.
In the proposed approach, the shell geometry is represented via either analytical functions …

A novel pure penalty discontinuous Galerkin method is proposed for the geometrically
nonlinear analysis of multilayered composite plates and shells, modelled via high-order …

In this work, a novel high-resolution formulation for multilayered composite plates is
presented. The formulations is referred to as high-resolution since it combines (i) Layer-Wise …

In this work, a discontinuous Galerkin formulation for higher-order plate theories is
presented. The starting point of the formulation is the strong form of the governing equations …

An original formulation for the elastic analysis of multilayered shells is presented in this
work. The key features of the formulation are: the representation of the shell mean surface …

In this work, a novel high-order formulation for multilayered piezoelectric plates based on the
combination of variable-order interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods and general …

A new family of locking-free finite elements for shear deformable Reissner–Mindlin plates is
presented. The elements are based on the “tangential-displacement normal-normal-stress” …

This work utilizes the Immersed Boundary Conformal Method (IBCM) to analyze linear
elastic Kirchhoff–Love and Reissner–Mindlin shell structures within an immersed domain …
