This work, for the first time, studies the vibrations of sandwich microshells with porous
functionally graded face sheets by not neglecting in-surface curvilinear motions. The …

The literature about the asymptotic numerical method (ANM) is reviewed in this paper as
well as its application to hyperelasticity and elastoplasticity. ANM is a generic continuation …

Variable-stiffness (VS) laminated shells with curved fibers have gradually become a
promising lightweight structural concept in the aerospace field. However, as the complexity …

This paper exploits the stress recovery technique to evaluate the out-of-plane stress
components in the static analysis of composite beams, plates and shells. This technique is …

The present article deals with the nonlinear free vibration analysis of sandwich beams with
flexible core integrated with face sheets which are reinforced with graphene platelets …

In this work, a layerwise beam model based on Carrera's Unified Formulation (CUF) is
developed to solve the geometrically nonlinear problem of sandwich beams with a special …

Composite plates are widely used in many engineering fields such as aerospace and
automotive. An accurate and efficient multiscale modeling and simulation strategy is of …

Ballast impacts can initiate surface defects that cause abrupt failure of the axle and
derailment of the railway vehicle. According to the Federal Railroad Administration the axle …

We provide an analytical investigation of the nonlinear vibration behavior of thick sandwich
nanocomposite beams reinforced by functionally graded (FG) graphene nanoplatelet (GPL) …

The thermal environment enhances the complexity of buckling failure of variable stiffness
composite plates. Influences of the high temperature and large deflection should be well …
