A new exact analytical approach for free vibration of Reissner–Mindlin functionally graded rectangular plates

High-order free vibration of sandwich panels with a flexible core

TL;DR: In this paper, a free vibration analysis of sandwich panels with a flexible core based on the high-order sandwich panel theory approach is presented, which is valid for any type of loading scheme, localized as well as distributed, and distinguish between loads applied at the upper or lower face.

Hygrothermal effects on the structural behaviour of thick composite laminates using higher-order theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the static and dynamic characteristics of thick composite laminates exposed to hygrothermal environment are studied using a realistic higher-order theory developed recently, which accounts for the nonlinear variation of the in-plane and transverse displacements through the thickness, and abrupt discontinuity in slope of inplane displacements at any interface.

Bending, vibration and buckling of simply supported thick orthotropic rectangular plates and laminates

TL;DR: In this article, a unified exact analysis for the statics and dynamics of a class of thick laminates is presented, which leads to simple infinite series for stresses and displacements in flexure, forced vibration and "beam-column" type problems and to closed form characteristic equations for free vibration and buckling problems.

Elastic wave propagation in heterogeneous plates

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional linear theory of motions of heterogeneous plates is deduced from the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, which is specialized to cases of symmetrically laminated aeolotropic, orthotropic and isotropic plates.

Stability and vibration of isotropic, orthotropic and laminated plates according to a higher-order shear deformation theory

TL;DR: In this article, a higher-order shear deformation theory is used to demonstrate the natural frequencies and buckling loads of elastic plates, which accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through the thickness of the plate and rotary inertia.
