Three-dimensional free vibration analysis of functionally graded nanocomposite cylindrical panels reinforced by carbon nanotube

Nonlinear bending of nanotube-reinforced composite cylindrical panels resting on elastic foundations in thermal environments

“…It is worth noting that the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka model is applicable to agglomerated carbon nanotubes, but is not applicable to aligned carbon nanotubes. Using the Voigt model as the rule of mixture for determining the CNTRC composite material properties, Jam et al [25] and Yas et al [26] carried out studies on the linear free vibration of functionally graded CNTRC cylindrical panels using 3-D elasticity theory. On the other hand, Lei et al [27] studied the large deflection of functionally graded CNTRC plates using the element-free kp-Ritz method.…”

[24][25][26][27][28], however, the effective material properties of CNTRCs are assumed to be independent of temperature. Recently, Shen and Xiang [29,30] investigated the large amplitude vibration and compressive postbuckling of functionally graded CNTRC cylindrical panels resting on elastic foundations in thermal environments.…”

Free vibration of viscoelastic double-bonded polymeric nanocomposite plates reinforced by FG-SWCNTs using MSGT, sinusoidal shear deformation theory and meshless method

“…They showed 3 that X-FGCNT and UD distributions have higher natural frequencies than that of the other types. Also Yas et al [12] studied three dimensional free vibration of functionally graded nanocomposite cylindrical panels reinforced by CNT using generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). The volume fractions of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are varied in the thickness direction and material properties of nanocomposite panel are estimated by EMR.…”

Three-dimensional free vibration analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite plates with various boundary conditions

“…Tajeddini and Ohadi (2012) developed the polynomial-Ritz method for the free vibration analysis of FG thick, annular plates with linear and nonlinear thickness variations along the radial direction, in which the material properties were considered to obey the power-law distributions of the volume fractions of constituent materials through the thickness coordinate. Based on the state-space and GDQ methods, Yas et al (2013) presented approximate 3D solutions for the free vibration of FG polymer composite cylindrical panels reinforced by CNTs. It is noted that most of the abovementioned 3D analyses were undertaken for plates/shells with fully simply supported conditions, rather than other kinds of boundary conditions, such as clamped and free supported ones.…”
