Bending Analysis of Sandwich Beams According to Refined Trigonometric Beam Theory
Abstract: An equivalent single layer trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented for flexure of sandwich beams. The axial displacement field uses trigonometric function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the effect of transverse shear deformation. The transverse displacement is assumed to be a function of longitudinal direction. Normal and shear strains corresponding to assumed displacement field of the present theory are obtained within the framework of linear theory of elasticity. …

Buckling and vibration of plates by hyperbolic shear deformation theory
Abstract: Hyperbolic shear deformation theory is used to determine the natural frequencies and buckling loads of elastic plates. The theory takes account of transverse shear effects and hyperbolic cosine distribution of the transverse shear strains through the thickness of the plate, hence it does not require shear correction factor. Governing equations are derived from the principle of virtual work. The closed-form solution of a simply supported plate subjected to in-plane loading …
