A computationally efficient C0 continuous finite element model for thermo-mechanical analysis of cross-ply and angle-ply composite plates in non-polynomial axiomatic framework
Abstract:In the present article, the thermo-mechanical bending response of multi-layered composite plates is investigated in the framework of inverse-hyperbolic shear deformation theory using a generalized finite element model. The mathematical development is carried out under the assumptions of linear structural kinematics for the materials following generalized Hooke’s law. Energy-based finite element formulation and the principle of minimum potential energy are employed to develop the finite element governing equati… Show more
