ABSTRACT: The performance of selected equivalent single-layer (ESL) models is evaluated within several classical benchmark tests for linear static analysis of multilayered plates. The authors developed their own finite element software based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FOSD) with some modifications incorporated including a correction of the transverse shear stiffness and an application of zigzag-type functions. Seven different ESL models were considered in the study; beside the classical FOSD model, there were three FOSD models with various transverse shear corrections and three ESL models enhanced by the application of zigzag functions. In addition, particular attention was paid to investigation of differences related to the “soft” and “hard” variants of the simple support.
