simulation of large rotations by laminated theory?

Submitted by r_n_s_s on

Hello iMechanica,

 

I am wondering if it is possible to perform the non-linear analyses (including large rotations) by laminated theories such as First order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) or higher orders and so on. Normally, those theories are valid for moderate rotations but: does anybody know if there is any modification to extend it for large rotations?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
