  • Jul 2016
In this paper, we present two four-node multilayered hybrid-mixed shell elements for the static and free vibration analyses of plate and shell composite structures. Their formulation is based on the first shear deformation theory of Reissner/Mindlin without transverse shear correction factors. Linear and quadratic variations of the local in-plane a...

Bolotin (1961) published the book presenting the analytical solution of the flutter problem for isotropic plates having finite dimensions (i.e. a width and a length). His results are much more broader than those discussed by Hedgepeth (1956) and Houbolt (1958) for plates having one infinite dimension (i.e. in fact reduced to the analysis of beams)....
