..., linear, non-linear, and sinusoidal temperature rise are obtained and analyzed based on SSDT and ITSDT. Influence of power law, sigmoid law, span to thickness ratio, aspect ratio, volume fraction index, different types of thermal loadings and Sandwich plate types over critical buckling temperature...

... and numerical results are presented. Findings – The solutions obtained here are examined for different cases of non-linearity and are found sufficiently accurate. Originality/value – The manuscript provide the non-variational solution for Plateau’s problem. Thus it has a good value in engineering...

...E. Oñate; P. Cendoya; J. Miquel The paper describes the application of the simple rotation‐free basic shell triangle (BST) to the non‐linear analysis of shell structures using an explicit dynamic formulation. The derivation of the BST element involving translational degrees of freedom only using...

... be realistic. In the present study, a hyperbolic stress—strain model has been used to consider the soil non‐linearity. The interactive behaviour of a five storey, two bay plane frame has been studied in detail and the results are compared with those obtained from a conventional and a linear interactive...
