TL;DR: In this article, a beam theory for a small strain continuum model of thermoviscoelastic shape memory polymers (SMPs) is developed, where the elastic predictor is based on the solution to a beam-based boundary value problem while the dissipative corrector is entirely local (and hence can be parallelized) and is applied by considering the beam as a two or three dimensional body.

TL;DR: In this article, geometrically nonlinear theories of laminated composite plates with piezoelectric laminae are developed and the coupling between mechanical deformations, temperature changes, and electric displacements is investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a higher-order triangular plate element based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory is proposed for bending analysis of plates with free edges, which is shown to be superior to the lower-order displacement finite element interpolation.

TL;DR: In this article, a geometrically exact formulation for micropolar Timoshenko beam is developed with a view towards modeling nonlinear elastic response of sandwich beams made of architected lattice core.

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified beam theory with the von Karman nonlinearity was developed. But the authors did not consider the nonlocal size-dependent properties of the beam theory.
