Abstract:The use of Carbon Nanotubes as the reinforcing constituent for polymer matrix composites in place of conventional fibers has led to the emergence of a new generation of advanced composite materials. In this paper, the free vibration of functionally graded nanocomposite beams on elastic foundations are studied. Three different types of Carbon Nanotubes distributions in the polymer matrix material are studied; Uniform distribution, symmetrically functionally graded distribution and unsymmetrically functionally g… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
