In this paper, vibration characteristics of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic functionally graded (METE-FG) nanobeams is investigated in the framework of third order shear deformation theory. ...Magneto-electro-thermo-elastic properties of FG nanobeam are supposed to vary smoothly and continuously along the thickness based on power-law form. To capture the small size effects, Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory is adopted. By using the Hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing equations are derived and then solved analytically to obtain the natural frequencies of METE-FG nanobeams. The reliability of proposed model and analytical method in predicting natural frequencies of METE-FG nanobeam is evaluated with comparison to some cases in the literature. Numerical results are provided indicating the influences of several parameters including magnetic potential, external electric voltage, temperature fields, power-law exponent, nonlocal parameter and slenderness ratio on the frequencies of METE-FG nanobeams. It is found that the vibrational behavior of METE-FG nanobeams is significantly impressed by these effects.

This is the first research on the nonlinear frequency analysis of a multi-scale hybrid nanocomposite (MHC) disk (MHCD) resting on an elastic foundation subjected to nonlinear temperature gradient and ...mechanical loading is investigated. The matrix material is reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or carbon fibers (CF) at the nano- or macroscale, respectively. We present a modified Halpin–Tsai model to predict the effective properties of the MHCD. The displacement–strain of nonlinear vibration of multi-scale laminated disk via third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) and using Von Karman nonlinear shell theory is obtained. Hamilton’s principle is employed to establish the governing equations of motion, which is finally solved by generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) and perturbation method (PM). Finally, the results show that FG patterns, different orientation angle of the fiber, the

This research develops a nonlocal couple stress theory to investigate static stability and free vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams. The theory introduces two parameters ...based on nonlocal elasticity theory and modified couple stress theory to capture the size effects much accurately. Therefore, a nonlocal stress field parameter and a material length scale parameter are used to involve both stiffness-softening and stiffness-hardening effects on responses of FG nanobeams. The FG nanobeam is modeled via a higher order refined beam theory in which shear deformation effect is verified needless of shear correction factor. A power-law distribution is used to describe the graded material properties. The governing equations and the related boundary conditions are derived by Hamilton’s principle and they are solved applying Chebyshev–Ritz method which satisfies various boundary conditions. A comparison study is performed to verify the present formulation with the provided data in the literature and a good agreement is observed. The parametric study covered in this paper includes several parameters such as nonlocal and length scale parameters, power-law exponent, slenderness ratio, shear deformation and various boundary conditions on natural frequencies and buckling loads of FG nanobeams in detail.

An analytical answer to the buckling problem of a composite plate consisted of multi-scale hybrid nanocomposites is presented here for the first time. In other words, the constituent material of the ...structure is made of an epoxy matrix which is reinforced by both macro- and nanosize reinforcements, namely, carbon fiber (CF) and carbon nanotube (CNT). The effective material properties such as Young’s modulus or density are derived utilizing a micromechanical scheme incorporated with the Halpin–Tsai model. To present a more realistic problem, the plate is placed on a two-parameter elastic substrate. Then, on the basis of an energy-based Hamiltonian approach, the equations of motion are derived using the classical theory of plates. Finally, the governing equations are solved analytically to obtain the critical buckling load of the system. Afterward, the normalized form of the results is presented to emphasize the impact of each parameter on the dimensionless buckling load of composite plates. It is worth mentioning that the effects of various boundary conditions are covered, too. To show the efficiency of presented modeling, the results of this article are compared to those of former attempts.

This article is primarily organized to analyze the thermo-elastic vibrational characteristics of multi-scale hybrid composite beams according to a refined beam model. In this novel type of ...composites, multi-scale reinforcing elements, carbon fiber (CF) and carbon nanotube (CNT) in particular, are presumed to be dispersed in an initial resin. The homogenization process is carried out employing a mixture of the Halpin–Tsai model and the rule of mixture. The effect of temperature and its gradient on the mechanical properties of CNTs and epoxy resin is rendered to present a more reliable thermal analysis. On the other hand, a refined trigonometric shear deformable beam theory is extended to derive the kinematic relations of the beam needless of any external shear correction coefficient. On the basis of Hamilton's principle, the partial differential equations of motion are developed. Thereafter, the natural frequencies are achieved by the means of Galerkin's method for both simply supported and fully clamped edge conditions. Then, the validity of the presented model is shown by comparing these results with those of previously published researches. Finally, effects of different parameters on the natural frequency of composite beams are rendered in the framework of some numerical case studies. It can be found that multi-scale hybrid composite beams can satisfy higher frequencies once compared with each of the CF- or CNT-reinforced composite beams.

In this article, thermal buckling and frequency analysis of a size-dependent laminated composite cylindrical nanoshell in thermal environment using nonlocal strain–stress gradient theory are ...presented. The thermodynamic equations of the laminated cylindrical nanoshell are based on first-order shear deformation theory, and generalized differential quadrature element method is implemented to solve these equations and obtain natural frequency and critical temperature of the presented model. The results show that by considering C–F boundary conditions and every even layers’ number, in lower value of length scale parameter, by increasing the length scale parameter, the frequency of the structure decreases but in higher value of length scale parameter this matter is inverse. Finally, influences of temperature difference, ply angle, length scale and nonlocal parameters on the critical temperature and frequency of the laminated composite nanostructure are investigated.

In this paper, the vibration problem of a rectangular plate rested on a viscoelastic substrate and consisting of porous metal foam is solved via an analytical method with respect to the influences of ...various porosity distributions. Three types of porosity distribution across the thickness are covered, namely uniform, symmetric and asymmetric. The strain–displacement relations of the plate are assumed to be derived on the basis of a refined higher-order shear deformation plate theory. Then, the achieved relations will be incorporated with the Hamilton’s principle in order to reach the Euler–Lagrange equations of the structure. Next, the well-known Galerkin’s method is utilized to calculate the natural frequencies of the system. The influences of both simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are included. In order to show the accuracy of the presented method, the results of present research are compared with those reported by former published papers. The reported results show that an increase in the porosity coefficient can dramatically decrease the frequency of the plate. Also, the stiffness of the system can be lesser decreased, while a symmetrically porous metal foam is used to manufacture the plate.

The current study aims to control the vibrational behavior of an auxetic plate coated with magnetostrictive material under a thermal gradient. The kinematic relations of the plate resting on a ...Winkler–Pasternak medium are expressed based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The governing equations are derived by employing Hamilton’s principle and solved analytically by applying Navier’s method. The effects of various parameters such as auxetic inclination angle, auxetic rib length, and feedback gain, on the control behavior of the system, are monitored in detail. In order to exhibit the accuracy and validity of the present study, the results are compared to those available in the literature. The results indicate that adding an auxetic core to a magnetostrictive plate results in increasing dimensionless natural frequency. The findings of this work may be used in the development of sensors, actuators, and vibration cancellation. Also, the results might be used as a starting point for future studies.
