Review of current trends in research and applications of sandwich structures (2018, methodology): “The models employed to characterize sandwich structures were summarized in detail in the work of Carrera that is sometimes referred to as “Carrera unified formulation” or CUF [16] [17], and [18].”
An equivalent layer-wise approach for the free vibration analysis of thick and thin laminated and sandwich shells (2016, background): “It is important to cite also the works [58,59], where the so-called zig-zag theories for layered structures were discussed.”
On the use of the Murakami's zig-zag function in the modeling of layered plates and shells (2004, methodology): “These were denoted in [7] as, the Lekhnitskii multilayered theory (LMT), the Ambartsumian multilayered theory (AMT) and the Reissner multilayered theory (RMT), respectively.”
