TL;DR: In this paper, the 1D Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) is used to perform static analyses of functionally graded (FG) structures and the results are compared with 1-, 2-and 3-D solutions both in terms of displacements and stress distributions.

TL;DR: In this article, the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) is used to perform free-vibrational analyses of functionally graded (FG) structures, which can be obtained by expanding the unknown displacement variables over the beam section axes by adopting any kind of function The number of the terms in the expansions is a free parameter of the analysis for Taylor-like expansions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of refined beam theories were obtained by expanding the unknown displacement variables over the beam section axes by adopting Taylor's polynomials, trigonometric series, exponential, hyperbolic and zig-zag functions.

TL;DR: In this article, Cararrera Unified Formulation (CUF) is used to perform free-vibrational analyses of rotating structures and the Finite Element Method is used for solving the governing equations of rotating blades that are derived in a weak form by means of Hamilton's Principle.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of refined beam theories for static and dynamic analysis of composite structures is presented by implementing higher-order expansions of Chebyshev polynomials for the three components of the displacement field over the beam cross-section.
