Nonlinear bending analysis of FG-CNT reinforced composite thick plates resting on Pasternak foundations using the element-free IMLS-Ritz method

Free vibration analysis of FG nanoplates embedded in elastic medium based on second-order shear deformation plate theory and nonlocal elasticity

“…high strength, thermal stability and low density. Some researches of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) can be found in [24][25][26]. More recent attention has focused on the structural mechanics of the functionally graded (FG) nanoplates considering the small scale effects.…”

A three-dimensional element-free framework for coupled mechanical-diffusion induced nonlinear deformation of polymeric gels using the IMLS-Ritz method

“…Combining IMLS approximation and the Ritz method, the element-free IMLS-Ritz method [28][29][30] is employed for the three-dimensional transient analysis of coupled mechanical-diffusion induced nonlinear deformation in polymeric gel in this paper. The IMLS approximation is used to approximate the displacement and chemical potential fields in gel.…”

Nonlinear free vibration of temperature-dependent sandwich beams with carbon nanotube-reinforced face sheets

“…Liew and his co-authors examined the free vibration characteristics of FG-CNTRC plates [22][23][24]. They also investigated the dynamic response of an FG-CNTRC plate subjected to sudden lateral pressure [25], geometrically nonlinear large amplitude behaviour of FG-CNTRC plates within the framework of von Kármán plate theory [26][27][28], buckling [29], post-buckling [30], and parametric stability [31] of FG-CNTRC plates under in-plane compressive loads and stress analysis of laminated plates comprising FG-CNTRC layers [32].…”
