TLDR
In this paper, a simple isoparametric finite element formulation based on a higher-order displacement model for flexure analysis of multilayer symmetric sandwich plates is presented, which accounts for non-linear variation of inplane displacements and constant variation of transverse displacement through the plate thickness.About:

Theories and Finite Elements for Multilayered Plates and Shells:A Unified compact formulation with numerical assessment and benchmarking
TL;DR: Theories and finite elements for multilayered structures have been reviewed in this article, where the authors present an extensive numerical evaluation of available results, along with assessment and benchmarking.

Theories and Finite Elements for Multilayered, Anisotropic, Composite Plates and Shells
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of available theories and finite elements that have been developed for multilayered, anisotropic, composite plate and shell structures is presented. But, although a comprehensive description of several techniques and approaches is given, most of this paper has been devoted to the so called axiomatic theories and related finite element implementations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a higher-order shear deformation theory for modeling functionally graded plates accounting for extensibility in the thickness direction is derived, and the explicit governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained using the principle of virtual displacements under Carrera's Unified Formulation.

Exact solutions for rectangular bidirectional composites and sandwich plates
TL;DR: In this article, three-dimensional elasticity solutions for rectangular laminates with pinned edges are constructed for three dimensional elasticity problems, including a sandwich plate, and compared to the analogous results in classical laminated plate theory.

Bending, vibration and buckling of simply supported thick orthotropic rectangular plates and laminates
S Srinivasan,A.K. Rao +1 more
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.

A high-order theory of plate deformation, part 1: homogeneous plates
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of plate deformation is derived which accounts for the effects of transverse shear deformation, transverse normal strain, and a nonlinear distribution of the in-plane displacements with respect to the thickness coordinate.
