Classical bending theories for beams and plates can not be used for short, stubby beams and thick plates since transverse shearing effect is excluded, and ordinary theories with multiple generalized displacements can not be used for long, slender beams and thin plates since the innate relation between rotation angle and deflection is ignored.

Stability analysis by means of finite element method for the composite material revolution shell and the effect analysis of the transverse shear deformation;

The problem of nonlinear dynamic buckling of symmetrically laminated, cylindrically orthotropic truncated shells including transverse shear has been studied.

The linear and geometric nonlinear buckling load including transverse shear deformation are calculated by Timoshenko first-order shear deformation theory and Reddy higher-order shear deformation theory respectively.

The displacement field ensures the continuity of displacements and transverse shear stresses at each interface and includes the influence of transverse shear deformation on the response of laminates.

According to the three-dimensional virtual work equation, the nonlinear equations of equilibrium that include the effects of transverse shearing a(?)e derived for thick rectangular plates on Winkler foundation.
