This study deals with the vibration response of sandwich plate with nano-composite core and smart magneto-strictive face sheets. Composite core is reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and its effective elastic properties are obtained by the rule of Mixture. Terfenol-D films are used as the face sheets of sandwich due to magneto-mechanical coupling in magneto-strictive material (MsM). In order ...

In this study, a realistic model for dynamic instability of embedded single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) conveying pulsating fluid is presented considering the viscoelastic property of the nanotubes using Kelvin–Voigt model. SWCNTs are placed in longitudinal magnetic fields and modeled by sinusoidal shear deformation beam theory (SSDBT) as well as modified couple stress theory. The effect of slip ...

The nonlinear analysis of nanoelectromechanical systems using the differential quadrature model is investigated. The differential quadrature method is applied to overcome the difficulty of determining the nonlinear equation of motion. The characteristics of various combinations of curved electrodes and cantilever beams are considered to optimize the design. Various nano-actuators, such as the c...

Decision making processes and their outcomes can be affected by a number of factors. Among them, the quality of the data is critical. Poor quality data causes poor decisions. Although this fact is widely known, data quality (DQ) is still a critical issue in organizations because of the huge data volumes available in their systems. Therefore, literature suggests that communicating the DQ level o...

This article is prompted by the existing confusion about correctness of responses beams and plates produced middle surface (MS) neutral (NS) formulations. study mathematically analyzes both formulations in context bending bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) discusses where misconceptions are. The relation between in-plane displacement field variables on NS MS are derived. These relations ...

In this study, a hybrid method is proposed to investigate the nonlinear vibrations of pre- and post-buckled rectangular plates for the first time. This is an answer to an existing need to develope a fast and precise numerical model which can handle the nonlinear vibrations of buckled plates under different boundary conditions and plate shapes. The method uses the differential quadrature element...

The following article investigates buckling of moderately thick circular Nano plates with an orthotropic property under uniform radial compressive in-plane mechanical load. Taking into account nonlocal elasticity theory (Eringen), principle of virtual work, first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) and nonlinear Von-Karman strains, the governing equations are obtained based on displacem...

A new differential quadrature method based on quartic B-spline functions is introduced. The weighting coefficients are determined via a semi-explicit algorithm containing an algebraic equation system with four-band coefficient matrix. In order to validate the proposed method, the Burgers’ Equation is selected as test problem. The shock wave and the sinusoidal disturbance solutions of the Burger...
