TL;DR: In this article, a hyperbolic shear deformation theory applicable to bending and free vibration analysis of isotropic, functionally graded, sandwich and laminated composite plates is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient and simple higher order shear and normal deformation theory is presented for functionally graded material (FGM) plates, which accounts for both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by a hyperbolic variation of all displacements across the thickness.

TL;DR: In this paper, a refined trigonometric shear deformation theory (RTSDT) is presented for the thermoelastic bending analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates, where the displacement components are expressed by trigonometrical series representation through the plate thickness to develop a two-dimensional theory and gives rise to transverse shear stress variation.

TL;DR: In this article, a hyperbolic shear deformation theory for the buckling and free vibration analysis of thick functionally graded sandwich plates is presented. But unlike the above works, the theory presented gives rise to only four governing equations, and the number of unknown functions involved is only four.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new quasi-three-dimensional (3D) hyperbolic shear deformation theory for the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded plates is developed.
