In this paper, a new higher-order layerwise finite element model, de- veloped earlier by the present authors for the static analysis of lam- inated composite and sandwich plates,

Free vibration response of the rotating sandwich truncated conical shells was investigated for the first time based on an improved high-order shear deformable theory of sandwich

A fifth-order shear and normal deformation theory is developed in the present study for the static bending and elastic buckling of FG beam. The theory shows fifth-order variation

The residual velocity curves and the damage cone of this two different laminates have been predicted and the results are com- pared with the experiment and theoretical model..

The results and the reference values proposed by ABNT-NBR 7480 (2007) are shown in.. It must be considered that the surface conformation coefficients were calculated by consid-

Geometrically non-linear analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plates and shells using a four-node quasi-conforming shell element.. A continuum based three-dimensional

For that purpose, HTS is compared with recently developed metaheuristic opti- mization methods such as artificial bee colony algorithm with adaptive penalty (ABC-AP), self-

Based on validation of the linear and non-linear finite element code for the reinforced concrete beam and the finite element interface developed code, the application of the
