The demand for increasing the strength of the structural element without an increase in the
size of the elements leads to the introduction of reinforcements. Employing carbon …

Functionally graded materials are widely utilized in several industrial applications, and their
accurate modeling is challenging for researchers, principally for FGM nanostructures. This …

This article presents the finite element method (FEM) used four-unknown shear deformation
theory for the static bending and hygro-thermo-mechanical vibration analysis of sandwich …

In the present paper, a novel refined shear deformation beam theory is proposed and
applied, for the first time, to investigate the bending behavior of functionally graded (FG) …

In the present work, bending and free vibration analyses of functionally graded carbon
nanotube-reinforced (FG-CNTR) sandwich beams are carried out using finite element-based …

This study analyses the bending of helicoidal laminated composite plates, inspired by
biological helicoids. The analysis employed Navier solution-based shear deformation …

In this paper, for the first time, the bending and free vibration analysis of porous functionally
graded sandwich plates with various porosity distributions is investigated using an efficient …

Adopting an effective layup sequence in laminated composite structures has always
compelled scientists to investigate the behavior of laminated composite constructions. The …

This work studies the size-dependent free vibration response of functionally graded (FG)
nanoplates using a layerwise theory. The proposed model supposes not only a higher-order …

In this study, a new refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory (RHSDT) is developed
using an equivalent singlelayer shell displacement model for the static bending and free …
