Abstract:Advanced plate models with variable kinematics for steady state hygrothermal analysis of composite laminates are proposed. The refined models discussed include both Layer-Wise (LW) and Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) models, and the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) is used. The Mixed Interpolation of Tensorial Component (MITC) method is applied to a nine-node element to contrast the shear locking phenomena. The governing equations are derived from the Principle of Virtual Displacement (PVD) taking into account … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
