An Exact Exponential Theory for the Bending of Simply Supported Laminated Orthotropic Plates.

An Analytical Approach to Thermoelastic Bending of Simply Supported Advanced Ribbed Composite Plates

In the present paper, an analytical approach is used to study the thermal deflections of a simply supported composite plate with a beam-like stiffener. The results for a plate–beam system exposed to a sinusoidal thermal load is used to study the effects of the low Earth orbit (LEO) thermal conditions on the composite plates, which have been used in the structure of satellites and spacecraft. To...

Bending Solution for Simply Supported Annular Plates Using the Indirect Trefftz Boundary Method

This paper presents the bending analysis of annular plates by the indirect Trefftz boundary approach. The formulation for thin and thick plates is based on the Kirchhoff plate theory and the Reissner plate theory. The governing equations are therefore a fourth-order boundary value problem and a sixth-order boundary value problem, respectively. The Trefftz method employs the complete set of solu...

Exact Solutions for Simply Supported and Multilayered Piezothermo- elastic Plates with Imperfect Interfaces

Exact solutions are derived for three-dimensional, orthotropic, linearly piezothermoelastic, simply-supported, and multilayered rectangular plates with imperfect interfaces under static thermo-electro-mechanical loadings. In this research the imperfect interface is described as thermally weakly (or highly) conducting, mechanically compliant and dielectrically weakly (or highly) conducting. Whil...
