Heat conduction and Thermal Stress Analysis of laminated composites by a variable kinematic MITC9 shell element

The present paper considers the linear static thermal stress analysis of composite structures by means of a shell finite element with variable through-thethickness kinematic. The temperature profile along the thickness direction is calculated by solving the Fourier heat conduction equation. The refi...
