TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the governing equations for a fully constrained finitely deforming hyperelastic Cosserat continuum where the directors are constrained to rotate with the body rotation.

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved analytical procedure is introduced in the context of free vibration and stability problems of cross-ply laminated circular cylindrical shells, which is used for generating the Levy-type solutions in vibration and stabilization problems of laminated shell panels and plates when the number and order of equations are higher than those of the classical theories.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply high-polynomial order spectral/hp basis functions in the numerical implementation of a novel 7-parameter continuum shell finite element formulation using general quadrilateral finite elements.

TL;DR: In this article, a shear deformable finite element is developed based on generalised first-approximation shell theories and numerical results are presented for the bending of layered, anisotropic, composite shells.

TL;DR: In this article, a progressive failure algorithm is developed where the Generalized Layerwise Plate Theory (GLPT) of Reddy is used for the kinematic description and the material is modeled as a stable progressively fracturing solid.
