The mechanical behavior of advanced composites can be modeled mathematically through unknown variables and Shear Strain Thickness Functions (SSTFs). Such SSTFs can be of polynomial or non-polynomial nature and some parameters ...

This paper presents an analytical solution for the thermoelastic bending analysis of advanced composite sandwich plates by using a new quasi-3D hybrid type HSDT with 6 unknowns which is based on a generalized formulation. ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the vibrational behavior of advanced composite plates by using a novel first shear deformation theory (FSDT). This theory contains only four unknowns, with is even less than the classical ...

This paper shows the results of an experimental investigation carried out on a connection element of glulam and concrete composite structures, through double-sided push-out shear tests. The connection system was composed ...

Fumed nanosilicas with different degree of silanization were used to obtain nanosilica-polyurethane (TPU) composites to modify their rheological and mechanical properties. The higher the silanol content of the nanosilica, ...

This paper presents investigations of free vibration of anisotropic plates of different geometrical shapes and generally restrained boundaries. The existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of boundary value problems and ...
