In the present paper, a n-order model for functionally graded and composite sandwich plate is developed. This model uses the n-order polynomial term to represent the displacement field. Zero transverse shear stress boundary conditions at the top and bottom of the plate are satisfied. The third-order
Bending laminated composites results in a distinctive zig-zag shaped deformation pattern, accordingly jumping transverse shear strains at layer interfaces, but continuous courses of transverse shear stresses there. An accurate representation of this laminate-specific mechanical behavior in terms of
## Abstract The Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT) for homogeneous, laminated composite, and sandwich plates is revisited to offer a fresh insight into its fundamental assumptions and practical possibilities. The theory is introduced from a multiscale formalism starting with the inplane displacement field
