The polar analysis of the Third-order Shear Deformation Theory of laminates [PDF]
In this paper the Verchery’s polar method is extended to the conceptual framework of the Reddy’s Third-order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) of laminates. In particular, a mathematical representation based upon tensor invariants is derived for all the laminate stiffness matrices (basic and higher-order stiffness terms).

A new simple shear deformation plate theory [PDF]
This paper proposes a new simple shear deformation theory for isotropic plates. The present theory involves one unknown and one governing equation as in the classical plate theory, but it is capable of accurately capturing shear deformation effects.
