โฆ Synopsis
A spline finite strip method is developed for static and free vibration analysis of composite plates using Reddy's higher-order shear deformation theory. This analysis does not require shear correction coefficients, but yields improved accuracy for thick laminates. In this method, a consistent interpolation scheme is achieved for transverse shear strains. Thus, shear locking for thin plates is avoided. In addition, the selected shape functions can accurately simulate a linear variation of transverse bending moment in the transverse inplane direction for the laminates with bending and inplane coupling, so that the convergence is enhanced. Results of numerical examples are compared with existing solutions.

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
In order to analyze the vibration response of delaminated composite plates of moderate thickness, a FEM model based on a simple higher-order plate theory, which can satisfy the zero transverse shear strain condition on the top and bottom surfaces of plates, has been proposed in this paper.

Three higher order refined displacement models are proposed for the free vibration analysis of sandwich and composite beam fabrications. These theories model the warping of the cross-section by taking the cubic variation of axial strain and they eliminate the need for a shear correction coefficient
