Static deformations and vibration analysis of composite and sandwich plates using a layerwise theory and multiquadrics discretizations

Flexural wave attenuation in a sandwich beam with viscoelastic periodic cores

“…The dynamics of a sandwich structure have been examined theoretically, including equivalent single-layer theory [4], layerwise theory [5], and zig-zag theory [6], which has been reviewed by Hajianmaleki and Qatu [7]. Apart from these new theories, there is also research into new sandwich configurations to meet the requirements of various engineering applications.…”

Application of the RBF meshless method to the solution of the radiative transport equation

“…This method has been successfully applied to a large variety of problems to solve linear [15,16,29,30,42,59,17,22] and non-linear [12,5] partial differential equations. However, despite the increasing popularity of radial basis functions, there is not, to our best knowledge, any attempt to use this alternative formulation to spatial discretizations of the radiative transport equation.…”

Visco-surface-nonlocal piezoelasticity effects on nonlinear dynamic stability of graphene sheets integrated with ZnO sensors and actuators using refined zigzag theory

“…Geometrically non-linear analysis of thin plate/shell laminated structures integrated with piezoelectric actuators or sensors layers and/or patches was studied by Simoes Moita [24]. Static and free vibration analyses of composite plates were studied by Ferreira et al [25] using a layerwise deformation theory and multiquadrics discretization. In another work by Ferreira et al [26], static deformations and free vibration of shear flexible isotropic and laminated composite plates were presented based on a new numerical scheme.…”
