Static analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced plate and shell structures

A review of the interfacial characteristics of polymer nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes

“…14,179 Great efforts have been made to optimize the physical properties of conducting polymers. 177 Multi-walled carbon nanotubes can serve as a conducting ller in a conjugated luminescent polymer, poly(m-phenylenevinylene-co-2,5-dioctyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene), [180][181][182] and polyaniline. 14,179,183 It has been demonstrated that the electronic structure of poly(m-phenylenevinylene-co-2,3-dioctoxy-p-phenylenevinylene) 184 and other types of conducting polymers is modied by the presence of carbon nanotubes, 185,186 suggesting that there is strong coupling between the conjugated p-electron system and the multi-walled carbon nanotube.…”

Thermo-elastic buckling and post-buckling analysis of functionally graded thin plate and shell structures

“…By neglecting the contribution of the shear strains, the geometry and the displacements are discretized by an isoparametric interpolation as Frikha et al [28,29] and Zghal et al [71,74]: N I are the standard isoparametric shape functions at nodal level I as indicated in Dhatt and Touzot [14] and Batoz and Dhatt [6]. Their expressions and the ones of P K are given, respectively, in Table 1 with ( = 1 , = 2 ).…”

Higher-Order Thermo-Elastic Analysis of FG-CNTRC Cylindrical Vessels Surrounded by a Pasternak Foundation

“…It is possible to assume different CNT distributions along the thickness, whose geometries are depicted in Figure 1, with the analytical expressions reported in Table 1 as a function of the effective volume fraction VCNT*, in which normalR, r and h indicate the average radius, arbitrary radius and the thickness of the cylinder which are clarified in Figure 1e. This last one is computed as follows [36,37,38,39] VCNT*=WCNTWCNT+(ρCNTρm)−(ρCNTρm)WCNT where WCNT is the mass fraction of the CNTs, while ρCNT and ρm refer to the density of the CNTs and matrix, respectively. In Table 1, all of the patterns are defined in terms of the same total volume fraction VC…”
