At present, it is difficult to accurately predict natural frequencies of sandwich plates with soft core by using the C 0 plate bending elements. Thus, the C 1 plate bending elements have to be employed to predict accurately dynamic response of such structures. This paper proposes an accurate higher-

A higher-order shear deformation theory is used to analyse laminated anisotropic composite plates for deflections, stresses, natural frequencies and buckling loads. The theory accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear stresses, and requires no shear correction coefficients. A displ
The investigation aims at: (i) constructing a modified higher-order shear deformation theory in which Kirchhoff's hypotheses are relaxed, to allow for shear deformations; (ii) validating the present 5-parameter-smeared-laminate theory by comparing the results with exact solutions; and (iii) applying
