A new analytical approach for nonlinear thermal buckling of Functionally Graded Graphene Platelet Reinforced Composite (FG-GPLRC) circular plates and shallow spherical caps using the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is presented in this paper. The are assumed to be subjected uniformly distributed loads. By applying Galerkin method, relations between load–deflection achieved determine...

Under the influence of axial forces and uniform temperature variations, thermal buckling postbuckling composite beams reinforced functionally graded multilayer graphene platelets (GPLs) resting on nonlinear elastic foundations are examined. The Halpin-Tsai model is used to calculate modulus each layer GPL-reinforced (GPLRC). According virtual work principle, governing equations for beam obtaine...

Atomic force microscope-(AFM-) based indentation tests were performed to examine mechanical properties of parallel singlecrystal silicon nanolines (SiNLs) of sub-100-nm line width, fabricated by a process combining electron-beam lithography and anisotropic wet etching. The SiNLs have straight and nearly atomically flat sidewalls, and the cross-section is almost perfectly rectangular with unifor...
