Mantari, J.L. and Guedes Soares, C. (2014) , “Four-unknowns quasi-3D shear deformation theory for advanced composite plates”, Composite Structures, Vol. 109, pp. 231-239
In this paper a 4-unknowns quasi-3D shear deformation theory for the static analysis of advanced composite plates is presented. The beauty of this theory is that, in addition to including the thickness stretching effect -----, the displacement field is modeled with only 4-unknowns, which is even less than the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The Hamilton’s principle is used to derive the governing equations and boundary conditions. Results from this theory are compared with the CPT, FSDT, and other quasi-3D HSDTs. As conclusion, this theory is as accurate as other quasy-3D HSDTs with higher number of unknowns and so deserves attention.
