“…One of the significant benefits of laminated composite plates is their capability to bear loads effectively in multiple directions. Among these plates, anisotropic ones stand out for their exceptional efficiency, primarily attributed to their remarkable strengthto-weight ratio, which makes them crucial in modern engineering applications [3,4]. To analyze the behavior of such plates, there should be mathematical representations that can describe their mechanics, which can be classified into different theories based on Table 1.…”

“…Buildings 2024, 14, 1574 2 of 35 During the last 7 decades, the equivalent single-layer (ESL) theories [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], which are the concern of this study, the layer-wise theories [11,12], and the zigzag theories (polynomial zigzag [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and non-polynomial zigzag [20,21]) have drawn the attention of researchers. Despite their performance, the anisotropy (presence of highly directional properties) of composite laminates leads to the complexity of designing and analyzing structures made of such materials, as compared to other types of structures, even under simple loadings.…”
