Geometrically nonlinear large deformation analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite straight-sided quadrilateral plates

A multiscale modeling of CNT-reinforced cement composites

“…Meshless methods appear to offer an attractive approach by which to simulate cohesive cracks [35] and delamination [36]. These methods have been shown to alleviate difficulties associated with distorted or low quality meshes [37][38][39][40][41][42]. Thus, they are especially suited to dynamic crack propagation in large deformation applications.…”

A unified formulation for free vibration of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite spherical panels and shells of revolution with general elastic restraints by means of the Rayleigh–Ritz method

“…Shen and Wang applied the two‐step perturbation technique to study the linear and nonlinear vibration characteristics of FG‐CNT reinforced composite plate and also sandwich plates with stiff core and FG‐CNT reinforced composite face sheets based on the von‐Karman formulation and higher‐order shear deformation theory. Based on the first‐order shear deformation theory and element‐free improved moving least‐squares (IMLS)‐Ritz method, Liew and his coworkers examined the bending, vibration, buckling and buckling of FG‐CNTRC plates which consist of the rectangular, skew and triangular plate. Ansari et al used the mapping‐DQ methodology to perform the free vibration of CNT‐reinforced composite quadrilateral plates having thermal environments with various classical boundary conditions.…”

The Effect of Volume Fraction of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes on Natural Frequencies of Polymer Composite Cone-Shaped Shell Made from Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)

“…Zhang and Liew [37] have proposed an improved moving least-squares (IMLS) approximation for the field variables in the functionally graded CNT plates. They [38] also have studied that using the element-free kp-Ritz method based on first-order shear deformation theory.…”
