TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the four variable refined plate theory for free vibration analysis of plates made of functionally graded materials with an arbitrary gradient, where the material properties of the plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents with a given gradient.

TL;DR: In this paper, a refined quasi-three-dimensional shear deformation theory for thermo-mechanical analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates resting on a two-parameter (Pasternak model) elastic elastic model is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a closed-form rigorous solution for interfacial stress in simply supported beams strengthened with bonded prestressed FRP plates and subjected to a uniformly distributed load, arbitrarily positioned single point load, or two symmetric point loads is developed using linear elastic theory and including the variation in FRP plate fibre orientation.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Winkler/Pasternak/Kerr foundation and porosity on dynamic behavior of FG plates using a simple quasi-3D hyperbolic theory is investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a trigonometric refined beam theory for the bending, buckling and free vibration analysis of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (CNTRC) beams resting on elastic foundation is developed.
