Abstract This study presents a generalized two-dimensional model for evaluating the stationary hygro-thermo-mechanical response of laminated shell structures made of advanced materials. It introduces a generalized kinematic model, enabling the assessment of arbitrary values of temperature variation and mass concentration variation for the unvaried configuration at the top and bottom surfaces. This is achieved through the Equivalent Layer-Wise description of the unknown field variable using higher-order polynomials and zigzag functions. In addition, an elastic foundation is modeled utilizing the Winkler-Pasternak theory. The fundamental equations, derived from the total free energy of the system, are solved analytically… More >
