Some in-plane shear vibration modes missed in previous elasticity solutions for multilayered plates are examined.
Three-dimensional finite element simulations of delamination propagation in multilayered plates are usually expensive in computational time and memory.
In this paper, the effects of higher-order shear deformations on bending, natural frequencies and buckling loads of multilayered plates are studied.
In the present work, families of equivalent singe layer and layer-wise models for the static and free vibrations analysis of magneto-electro-elastic multilayered plates are developed.
Results for thick simply-supported multilayered plates are obtained by an exact closed-form Navier-type solution and compared with benchmark 3D solutions to investigate the features and accuracy of the proposed modeling approach.
The effects of temperature and moisture concentrations on the material properties and the hygrothermal response of multilayered plates are studied, in contrast to most of the previous investigations in which the material properties are assumed to be independent of temperature.
