The extended higher-order sandwich plate theory for plates with arbitrary aspect ratio was formulated for two-dimensional orthotropic sandwich plates. The novelty of the theory is that it considers five generalized co-ordinates in the core (two axial and one transverse displacements at centroid of the core, one rotation at the centroid of the core...

Use of composite structures is exponentially growing in different fields due to their higher strength-to-weight ratio. This application trend requires that accurate theoretical explanations and their finite element models be developed for analyzing sandwich plates before finalizing the designs. This paper reviews the recent research trends of finit...

This research is aimed to investigate the flow behavior at the exit plane of a rectangular aircraft exhaust nozzle for different aspect ratios. An algorithm has been developed to evaluate the velocity profile at the exit cross section of a rectangular aircraft exhaust nozzle. The same algorithm has also been used to calculate the velocity field and...
