Generalized hybrid quasi-3D shear deformation theory for the static analysis of advanced composite plates (2012, methodology): “the HSDTs [23,24] and TPT [6] are almost the same.”
Static analysis of doubly-curved anisotropic shells and panels using CUF approach, differential geometry and differential quadrature method (2014, background): “In general every sth order thickness function Fs(f), which is also called shear function [66,81,86,94,99–142], can assume various expressions.”
A quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory for functionally graded plates (2014, methodology): “In addition, the results of HSDT [35] are also provided to show the importance of including the thickness stretching effect.”
Stress, vibration and buckling analyses of FGM plates—A state-of-the-art review (2015, methodology): “Mantari and Soares [64] used a higher-order shear deformation theory in which the displacements of the middle surface were expanded as trigonometric functions of the thickness coordinate and the transverse displacement is taken as uniform through the thickness.”
