... bending properties, cannot be accurate. By using a recently proposed refined zig-zag theory for laminates, we analytically solve the representative problem of a short simply supported laminated beam with a long cantilevered overhang. The variables are the beam displacement and the mean sectional shear...

... whose elastic modulus parametrically depends upon time and environmental temperature, we present a model for inflexed laminated-glass beams in the pre-glass-breakage phase. The approach relies on a modified version of the refined zig-zag theory for composites, in which the glass plies are treated...
