“…However, modelling of their mechanical behaviour still leads to many problems, particularly in the description of 1D or 2D structures, such as beams, plates or shells. The broader discussion of those problems and solutions can be found in Muc et al [76,77,78,79,80].…”

The application of numerical homogenization and optimization in the design of micro- and nanocomposite reinforcement is presented. The influence of boundary conditions, form of a representative volume element, shape and distribution of reinforcement are distinguished as having the crucial influence on a design of the reinforcement. The paper also shows that, in the optimization problems, the distributions of any design variables can be expressed by n-dimensional curves. It applies not only to the tasks of optimizing the shape of the edge of the structure or its mid-surface but also dimensional optimization or topology/material optimization. It is shown that the design of reinforcement may be conducted in different ways and 2D approaches may be expanding to 3D cases.

“…40 For predicting the global performance and optimal design of sandwich panels with square honeycomb cores, a semi-analytical method (SAM) has been developed, 41 and the effects of the normal stresses and their influence on the sandwich behavior were investigated. 42 The transverse shear is included in an analysis to predict the critical buckling load. 43 Shear correction factors are employed to investigate the elastic stability behavior of simply supported anisotropic sandwich flat panels subjected to mechanical in-plane loads.…”

Many review articles were published on free vibration and buckling of laminated composites, sandwich plates, and shells. The present article reviews the literature on the buckling and free vibration analysis of shear deformable isotropic and laminated composite sandwich plates and shells using various methods available for plates in the past few decades. Various theories, finite element modeling, and experimentations have been reported for the analysis of sandwich plates and shells. Few papers on functionally graded material plates, plates with smart skin (electrorheological, magnetorheological, and piezoelectric), and also viscoelastic materials were also reviewed. The scope for future research on sandwich plates and shells was also accessed.

“…Akfert (1994) used the commercial FE package (Abaqus) with a foam material model based on a volumetric hardening model as described by Gibson et al (1982) Maiti et al (1984, and Gibson et al (1997), with skins, adhesive layers and core materials modelled as plain strain two-dimensional continuum elements. Muc and Zuchara (2000) investigated the buckling and failure analysis of thin-walled composite sandwich plates. Their 2-D geometrical nonlinear formulation was found to correlate well with the 3-D FE analysis.…”
