A degenerated plate/shell element based on the combined energy variational principle and the equivalent single-layer model is proposed. It is derived from the 3-D continuum equation by imposing one constraint on the 3-D isoparametric solid element: a straight line normal to the mid-surface before de

This paper presents a new 4-node รฟnite-element for the analysis of laminated composite plates. The element is based on a รฟrst-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
## Abstract This work deals with the development of a new C^1^ finite element for analysing the bending and torsional behaviour of rectangular piezoelectric laminated/sandwich composite beams. The formulation includes transverse shear, warping due to torsion, and elasticโelectric coupling effects.
## Abstract Two simple 4โnode 20โDOF and 4โnode 24โDOF displacementโbased quadrilateral elements named RDKQโL20 and RDKQโL24 are developed in this paper based on the firstโorder shear deformation theory (FSDT) for linear analysis of thin to moderately thick laminates. The deflection and rotation fu
