Stress, vibration and buckling analyses of FGM plates—A state-of-the-art review (2015, background): “Thai and Choi [70] refined FSDT into more simple and efficient form by reducing the number of unknowns and governing equations to four instead of five for bending and free vibration analyses of FGM plates.”
A refined FSDT for the static analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates (2015, methodology): “Therefore, to find the values of the coefficients " 1 k " and " 2 k ", similar procedure as in Thai and Choi [7] was performed obtaining:”
