By integrating three-dimensional displacement field, higher-order plate theories, and process-induced eigenstrain model within the Carrera Unified Formulation, this framework eliminates the ad hoc approximations of a linear through-thickness displacement distribution inherent to classical approaches. Comparison with experimental results and solid element solutions for the stable configurations of cross-ply laminates validates the predictive accuracy of different plate theories, while their computational costs are also discussed. We thoroughly investigate the equilibrium paths of cross-ply laminates and film/substrate systems to compare classical plate theory with the proposed framework. Numerical results demonstrate that higher-order theories outperform linear theories in predicting bifurcation thresholds and post-bifurcation configurations. By enriching the degrees of freedom through the thickness direction, higher-order Equivalent Single Layer and Layer-Wise theories provide a more accurate characterization of through-thickness displacement distributions—particularly for thin film/substrate systems. Besides, higher-order plate theories reveal that in-plane geometric asymmetry leads to unequal strain energy in post-bifurcation configurations, a phenomenon that linear theory fails to capture.

Results show that ply angle has limited influence on principal diagonal stiffness but significantly modifies all ply-angle-induced coupling components.

Beyond improving the macroscopic properties of the composites, this study provided molecular-level insight into a possible mechanism underlying the induced crystallization of MOC hydrates. The combined experimental and simulation results suggest that hydrogen bonding and Mg<sup>2</sup>⁺ coordination between the polyhydroxy modifier and hydration species create a favorable local environment for hydrate association and 5-Phase crystallization.

Porous structures offer significant advantages in meeting such multifunctional requirements. This study constructs a parametric model incorporating boundary perturbations, with porosity, equivalent diameter, aspect ratio, and rotation angle as geometric configuration parameters, and utilizes the trained neural network surrogate model to establish the quantitative mapping between these parameters and thermo-mechanical performance, providing the basis for multi-objective optimization design. Results indicate that effective stiffness and thermal conductivity degrade with increasing porosity following power-law relations with exponents of 2.01 and 1.48, consistent with the Gibson-Ashby model and the Maxwell-Eucken theory, with the load-bearing penalty substantially exceeding the thermal protection benefit under lightweighting. Under the same porosity, equivalent diameter has a limited effect on stiffness, whereas a smaller pore size effectively improves thermal protection. Aspect ratio is the primary driver of performance anisotropy, and adjusting it together with rotation angle can maximize load-bearing in the principal loading direction without significantly sacrificing thermal protection. The overall performance of irregular structures is comparable to that of regular ones, yet irregular structures withstand loading direction variations more effectively. A multi-objective optimization was performed for the ITPS core layer, and the feasible design domain was delineated under a certain practical constraint of ITPS. Under this particular case, for circular pore configurations, the feasible porosity range is 0.31–0.40. By adjusting the aspect ratio, aligning the major axis of elliptical pores with the principal loading direction, the anisotropic strengthening effect extends the feasible porosity upper limit from 0.40 to 0.48, thereby broadening the lightweight design window.
