This article reported the overall review on modeling (mathematical/simulation), analysis
(linear/nonlinear), and prediction of structural responses (static, vibration, transient, etc.) of …

This paper proposes the use of a porous core between layers of laminated composite plates
to examine its effect on the natural frequencies of the resulted porous laminated composite …

The free vibration analysis of a circular plate made up of a porous material integrated by
piezoelectric actuator patches has been studied. The plate is assumed to be thin and its …

The present paper investigates the biaxially compressed buckling and postbuckling
behaviors of functionally graded multilayer composite plates reinforced with a low content of …

The novelty of this work is the use of a new displacement field that includes undetermined
integral terms for analyzing thermal buckling response of functionally graded (FG) sandwich …

Abstract By means of Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) curves, it is possible to
describe arbitrary shapes with holes and discontinuities. These peculiar shapes can be …

Composite functionally graded materials (FGMs) are fabricated and most commonly used to
operate in high temperature environments, where are expected to have significant changes …

In this paper, the thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded plates and cylindrical
shells is investigated. By considering a modified First order Shear Deformation Theory, the …

This paper investigates damped vibrational behavior of a lightweight sandwich plate
subjected to a periodic load within a limited time. The lightweight sandwich structure …

This paper presents, for the first time, a simple first-order shear deformation shell theory (S-
FSDST) for free and transient vibration analysis of composite laminated open cylindrical …
