Now a days, sandwich beams and plates made of functionally graded (FG) materials are
widely used in many engineering industries. Therefore, several modeling techniques and …

The main objective of the present paper is to draw the attention of researchers towards the
analyses of composite structures in non-deterministic environment. The various …

This paper brings to the readers a unified framework on higher order shear deformation
theories (HSDTs), modelling and analysis of laminated composite plates. The major …

Two new higher order transverse shear deformation theories (NHSDTs) with five variables
have been proposed for the analysis of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) plate. A …

In the present work a novel approach is presented for the modal analysis of shells with
arbitrary geometry, general boundary conditions and variable thickness. The Equivalent …

A new hyperbolic tangent shear deformation theory (HTSDT) for the static, free vibration and
buckling analysis of laminated composite plates is presented. In the present theory, shear …

A novel three variable refined plate theory (TVRPT) is developed in this article for laminated
composite plates for the first time. The theory takes into account the nonlinear variation of …
