This paper presents a new 4-node ΓΏnite-element for the analysis of laminated composite plates. The element is based on a ΓΏrst-order shear deformation theory and is obtained through a mixed-enhanced approach. In fact, the adopted variational formulation includes as variables the transverse shear as w

A numerical flow-compaction model is developed and implemented in a finite element code to simulate the multiple physical phenomena involved during the autoclave processing of fibre-reinforced composite laminates. The model is based on the effective stress formulation coupled with a Darcian flow the
## Abstract Two simple 4βnode 20βDOF and 4βnode 24βDOF displacementβbased quadrilateral elements named RDKQβL20 and RDKQβL24 are developed in this paper based on the firstβorder shear deformation theory (FSDT) for linear analysis of thin to moderately thick laminates. The deflection and rotation fu
A previously published discrete-layer shear deformation theory is used to analyze free vibration of laminated plates. The theory includes the assumption that the transverse shear strains across any two layers are linearly dependent on each other. The theory has the same dependent variables as first
