Title: A robust five-unknowns higher-order deformation theory optimized via machine learning for functionally graded plates

Authors: Yarasca, J.; Mantari, J.L.; Monge, J. C.; Hinostroza, M.A.

Abstract: This article presents a new kind of higher-order deformation theory, called Parametric Higher-order Deformation Theory (PHDT), for the static analysis of functionally graded plates (FGPs). The novelty of the PHDT is the use of strain shape functions that are calibrated by ...

Title: Unified layer-wise model for magneto-electric shells with complex geometry

Authors: Monge, J.C.; Mantari, J.L.; Llosa, M.N.; Hinostroza, M.A.

Abstract: This paper presents a polynomial layer-wise model in the framework of Carrera's Unified Formulation for the bending analysis of a magneto-electric shells with variable radii of curvature. A parametric surface is used to model the middle surface of the shell. Lame Para...

Title: Non-polynomial hybrid models for the bending of magneto-electro-elastic shells

Authors: Monge, Joao C.; Mantaria, Jose Luis; Hinostroza, Miguel A.

Abstract: This paper presents different non-polynomial hybrid models in the framework of Carrera’s Unified Formulation for the bending of a magneto-electric shell with variable radii of curvature. The shell’s middle surface is graphed by a parametric surface. Differential Geometry is employe...

Title: A size-dependent 3D solution of functionally graded shallow nanoshells

Authors: Monge, Joao Carlos; Mantari, Jose Luis; Llosa, Melchor Nicolas; Hinostroza, Miguel Angel

Abstract: An unavailable semi-analytical non-local 3D solution for functionally graded nanoshells with constant radii of curvature is presented. The small length scale effect is included in Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. The constitutive and equilibrium equations are written in terms of&#x...
