TL;DR: In this paper, the static and dynamic response of the functionally graded material (fgm) plates are investigated by varying the volume fraction of the ceramic and metallic constituents using a simple power law distribution.

TL;DR: In this article, a higher-order shear deformation theory for elastic shells was developed for shells laminated of orthotropic layers, which is a modification of the Sanders' theory and accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through thickness of the shell and tangential stress-free boundary conditions on the boundary surfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, a microstructure-dependent Timoshenko beam model is developed using a variational formulation, which is based on a modified couple stress theory and Hamilton's principle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the work, energy, and variational calculus of solid mechanics and their application in the analysis of plate models. But their focus is on the theory and analysis of plates.
