Abstract

In the present manuscript, we focus our investigation on the intralaminar hybrid composite plates, where the bending behavior is addressed employing a reliable and efficient refined high-order theory. The present refined theory successfully simulates the plate's real behavior by considering the shear effect in deformations, counting only four variables in the mathematical formulation and ensuring the parabolic distribution of these shear strains and stresses. Also, the nullity of shear stresses at the plate's top and bottom faces is guaranteed by the present refined theory. Unlike conventional composites, hybrid composite materials offer compelling features like the opportunity to create new and advantageous structures by varying the fiber combinations and proportions. This variation leads to diverse kinds of hybrid composites, each of which is intended for specific applications, depending on the characteristics expected by manufacturers. The present theory's numerical and graphical results are validated against other literature-issued high-order theories. This validation is followed by a parametric study to highlight the effect of various parameters on the behavior of hybrid composites. Based on this research, we can conclude that the suggested refined theory is reliable, precise and efficient for investigating the bending behavior of intralaminar hybrid composite plates.
