Abstract:This research investigates the effects of cut-out on the dynamic behaviour of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FGCNTRC) plates. Finite element method (FEM) is utilized and SHELL181 type element of the ANSYS Workbench 17.2 program is utilized. To understand the vibration characteristics of the FG plates, various shapes of cut-outs such as triangular, square, rectangular, hexagonal, circular etc. are considered. For comparison, solid FGCNTRC plate is modeled and natural frequencies of pl… Show more
