TL;DR: In this article, the authors present finite element models and numerical results for bending and natural vibration using the unified third-order plate theory developed in Part 1 of this paper, which contains the classical, first-order, and other thirdorder plate theories as special cases.

TL;DR: The Finite Element Method for Boundary Value Problems: Mathematics and Computations as discussed by the authors bridges the gap between applied mathematics and application-oriented computational studies using FEM, which is presented as a method of approximation for differential operators that are mathematically classified as self-adjoint, non-selfadjoint and nonlinear, thus addressing totality of all BVPs in various areas of engineering, applied mathematics, and physical sciences.

TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic finite element analysis procedure for laminated composite shells is developed, where the first-order second-moment technique is employed to calculate the mean and variance of the structural response.

TL;DR: In this article, a study on the effective thermomechanical response of a composite laminate with shape memory alloy (SMA) layers based on the implementation of the layerwise laminate theory in the finite element method is carried out.

TL;DR: In this paper, a micropump actuated by electrostatic forces is dynamically analyzed using the boundary element method to solve the quasi-3D Laplace equation that the potential difference satisfies in order to obtain the surface charge density and corresponding electrostatic force.
