TL;DR: In this article, three higher order refined displacement models are proposed for the free vibration analysis of sandwich and composite beam fabrications, which eliminate the need for a shear correction coefficient by assuming a quadratic shear strain variation across the depth of the cross-section.

TL;DR: In this article, a higher-order refined theory for composite and sandwich beams is presented, which incorporates cubic axial, transverse shear and quadratic transverse normal strain components in the basic formulation, thus modeling the warping of cross section accurately and eliminating the need for a shear correction coefficient.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present methods for manufacturing a functionally graded polymer material, which consists of preparing a melted polymer mixture comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a magnetic filler dispersed in the thermoplastics, molding the melted mixture and applying a magnetic field to a portion of the mixture to form a functional grade polymer material.

TL;DR: In this paper, a structural body of a vehicle comprises: a hollow metal component comprising walls that define a channel, wherein the metal vehicle component has a metal component length, and wherein the vehicle component is selected from the group consisting of beam, rail, pillar, chassis, floor rocker, and cross-bar, combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing.

TL;DR: In this paper, higher-order shear-deformable refined theories, based on isoparametric elements, are adopted for transient dynamic analysis of symmetric and unsymmetric sandwich and composite beam constructions.
