An efficient C0 FE model for the analysis of composites and sandwich laminates with general layup
A C0 continuous finite element model is developed to model the refined higher order shear deformation theory. The proposed element is an upgraded version of an element based on higher order shear deformation theory. The C0 continuity of the present element is compensated in the stiffness matrix calc...
