TL;DR: In this paper, a higher-order shear deformation theory for modeling functionally graded plates accounting for extensibility in the thickness direction is derived, and the explicit governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained using the principle of virtual displacements under Carrera's Unified Formulation.
Abstract: In this paper the authors derive a higher-order shear deformation theory for modeling functionally graded plates accounting for extensibility in the thickness direction. The explicit governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained using the principle of virtual displacements under Carrera’s Unified Formulation. The static and eigenproblems are solved by collocation with radial basis functions. The efficiency of the present approach is assessed with numerical results including deflection, stresses, free vibration, and buckling of functionally graded isotropic plates and functionally graded sandwich plates.

Abstract: This paper deals with free vibration problems of functionally graded shells. The analysis is performed by radial basis functions collocation, according to a higher-order shear deformation theory that accounts for through-the-thickness deformation. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are obtained by Carrera’s Unified Formulation resting upon the principle of virtual work, and further interpolated by collocation with radial basis functions. Numerical results include spherical as well as cylindrical shell panels with all edges clamped or simply supported and demonstrate the accuracy of the present approach.

Abstract: The review outlines modern trends in theoretical developments, novel designs and modern applications of sandwich structures. The most recent work published at the time of writing of this review is considered, older sources are listed only on as-needed basis. The review begins with the discussion on the analytical models and methods of analysis of sandwich structures as well as representative problems utilizing or comparing these models. Novel designs of sandwich structures is further elucidated concentrating on miscellaneous cores, introduction of nanotubes and smart materials in the elements of a sandwich structure as well as using functionally graded designs. Examples of problems experienced by developers and designers of sandwich structures, including typical damage, response under miscellaneous loads, environmental effects and fire are considered. Sample applications of sandwich structures included in the review concentrate on aerospace, civil and marine engineering, electronics and biomedical areas. Finally, the authors suggest a list of areas where they envision a pressing need in further research.
