This is the first research on the thermal buckling analysis of graphene nanoplatelets reinforced composite (GPLRC) doubly curved open cylindrical micropanel in the framework of numerical-based two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method (2D-GDQM). Additionally, the small-scale effects are analyzed based on nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT). The stresses and strains are obtained using the high-order shear deformable theory (HOSDT). The rule of mixture is employed to obtain varying thermal expansion, and Poisson’s ratio, while module of elasticity is computed by modified Halpin–Tsai model. In addition, nonlinear temperature changes along the GPLRC micropanel’s thickness direction. Governing equations and boundary conditions of the GPLRC doubly curved open cylindrical micropanel are obtained by implementing the extended Hamilton’s principle. Besides, for the validation of the results, the results of current model are compared to the results acquired from analytical method. The results show that GPL weight function ([Formula: see text], the ratio of shell curvatures ([Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text], NSG parameters, and geometric parameters have a significant influence on the thermal buckling characteristics of the GPLRC doubly curved open cylindrical micropanel.
While educating building professionals is an essential component of the construction education sector, producing work-ready graduates to meet the construction industry requires greater effort. The factors that influence graduate students' successful transition into the competitive construction environment need to be further explored. This study investigates these factors through a literature review and interviews six experts in academia who have industry experience. The findings of this study show that factors such as 'team-working skills' and 'communication skills' are the two top factors for producing work ready graduates for the construction industry. The findings can help academia to understand the important factors for producing work-ready graduates for the construction industry.
