TL;DR: In this article, an effective, simple, robust and locking-free plate formulation is proposed to analyze the static bending, buckling, and free vibration of homogeneous and functionally graded plates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a displacement-based finite element formulation associated with a novel third-order shear deformation plate theory was developed, taking the desirable properties and advantages of the TSDT theory as its kinematics of displacements are derived from elasticity theory rather than the hypothesis of displacement.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine the isogeometric analysis, the level set and a simple first-order shear deformation theory (S-FSDT) to form a new effective and accurate approach for simulating free vibration and buckling problems of laminated composite plates with cutouts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermal buckling for functionally graded plates (FGPs) with internal defects (e.g., crack or cutout) using an effective numerical method, which employed the first-order shear deformation plate theory associated with extended isogeometric analysis and level sets.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic X-FEM model is developed in which both Crank-Nicolson and Newmark time integration methods are used for calculating transient responses of thermal and electromechanical fields respectively.
