An Enhancement of the Warping Shear Functions of Refined Zigzag Theory
Abstract The paper presents an enhancement in Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT) for the analysis of multilayered composite plates. In standard RZT, the zigzag functions cannot predict the coupling effect of in-plane displacements for anisotropic multilayered plates, such as angle-ply laminates.

Shear and punching shear according to the Critical Shear Crack Theory: background, recent developments and integration in codes [PDF]
The Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) has been developed since 1985 to assess the shear resistance of members without shear reinforcement and the punching shear resistance of reinforced concrete slabs in a rational manner.

Vibration Analysis Of Laminated Plates Using A Refined Shear Deformation Theory [PDF]
A previously published discrete-layer shear deformation theory is used to analyze free vibration of laminated plates. The theory includes the assumption that the transverse shear strains across any two layers are linearly dependent on each other.

Vibration and buckling of composite beams using refined shear deformation theory [PDF]
Vibration and buckling analysis of composite beams with arbitrary lay-ups using refined shear deformation theory is presented. The theory accounts for the parabolical variation of shear strains through the depth of beam. Three governing equations of motion are derived from Hamilton's principle.
