A new trigonometric shear deformation theory for isotropic and composite laminated and
sandwich plates, is developed. The new displacement field depends on a parameter “m” …

A new shear deformation theory for sandwich and composite plates is developed. The
proposed displacement field, which is “m” parameter dependent, is assessed by performing …

This paper presents an analytical solution to the static analysis of functionally graded plates,
using a recently developed higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) and provides …

A new shear deformation theory is introduced to conduct free vibration analysis of the
functionally graded plates with simply supported boundary conditions. The shear functions …

A boundary-discontinuous double Fourier series based solution methodology is employed
to solve the problem of a HSDT-based thick cross-ply doubly curved panel, characterized by …

In the present work, the thermo-mechanical response characteristics of cross-ply as well as
angle-ply laminated composite plates in closed form are investigated. The laminated …

This study aimed to provide a static solution to the boundary value problem presented by
symmetric (0°/90°/0°) and antisymmetric (0°/90°) cross-ply composite, moderately thick …

A heretofore unavailable analytical solution to the problem of deformation of a finite-
dimensional general cross-ply thick doubly-curved panel of rectangular plan-form, modeled …

A new analytical solution to the problem of a finite-dimensional general cross-ply plates and
doubly curved panels of rectangular planform is presented using a higher order shear …

This paper presents an analytical solution for the static analysis of thick laminated
rectangular beams with clamped boundary conditions at either or both of the beam's edges …
