5 Layer Wise Legendre polynomials expansion: Variable-Kinematic Legendre polynomials expansion: u k = F t u k t + F b u k b + F ru k r = F τ u k τ Θ k = F t Θ k t + F b Θ k b + F rθ k r = F τ Θ k τ τ = t, b, r ; r = 2,..., N F t = P 0+P 1 2 ; F b = P 0 P 1 2 ; F r = P r P r 2 u = F t u t + F b u b + F r u r = F τ u τ Θ = F t Θ t + F b Θ b + F r Θ r = F τ Θ τ τ = t, b, r ; r = 2,..., N F t = P 0+P 1 2 ; F b = P 0 P 1 2 ; F r = P r P r 2 Interlaminar continuity condition: u k t = u k+1 b ; k = 1, n l 1 Interlaminar continuity condition is guaranteed in specified zones

6 Finite Element Method Approximation of variables in the reference midplane surface using the Langrangian shape functions: MITC To overcome the problem of the membrane and shear locking, the strain components are calculated using a specific interpolation strategy: u τ = N i (ξ, η) u τi For example: ɛ xx γ xz ɛ yy γ yz ɛ xy ɛ xx = N A1 ɛ xxa1 + N B1 ɛ xxb1 + N C1 ɛ xxc1 + N D1 ɛ xxd1 + N E1 ɛ xxe1 + N F1 ɛ xxf1

33 Conclusions Unified Formulation is the ideal tool for the implementation of variable kinematic theories. In fact, the theory approximation order and the modelling technique (ESL, LW) are free parameters of the FEM arrays, which are written in a compact and very general form. The present variable kinematic models, in general for static and free-vibration analysis, allow to locally improve the solution with a reduction of computational costs with respect to Layer-Wise solutions. The Mixed ESL/LW variable kinematic is effective for the free-vibration analysis of sandwich structures. Strong computational cost reductions can be obtained with high solution accuracy, respect to the full Layer-Wise model. The results show confidence for future extension of the present variable-kinematic methodology to thermography investigations analysis, and to the free-vibration analysis of multilayered piezoelectric components.
