Buckling analysis of a functionally graded (FG) nanobeam resting on two-parameter elastic foundation is presented based on third-order shear deformation beam theory (TOSDBT). The in-plane displacement of TOSDBT has parabolic variation through the beam thickness. Also, TOSDBT accounts for shear deformation effect and verifies stress-free boundary conditions on upper and lower faces of FG nanobea...

This article presents Navier type closed-form solutions for static bending, elastic buckling and free vibration analysis of symmetric functionally graded (FG) sandwich beams using a hyperbolic shear deformation theory. The beam has FG skins and isotropic core. Material properties of FG skins are varied through the thickness according to the power law distribution. The present theory accounts fo...

In this paper, the pull-in instability of piezoelectric polymeric nanocomposite plates reinforced by functionally graded single-walled carbon nanotubes (FG-SWCNTs) based on modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) is investigated. Various types of SWCNTs are distributed in piezoelectric polymeric plate and also surface stress effect is considered in this research. The piezoelectric polymeric nano...

in this study, the analysis of transient thermoelastic response of a functionally graded (fg) non-axisymmetric viscoelastic cylinder is presented. the material properties are assumed to be time- dependent and radially and circumferentially non-homogeneous. the finite element (fe) formulations of the thermoelastic problem are obtained using the virtual work method and all the coupling terms are ...

In nanocomposites, the interphase thickness may be comparable to size of nano-particles, and hence, effect layers on mechanical properties nanocomposites substantial. The nano-particle ratio variability across are most important affecting parameters overall behavior nanocomposites. this study, elastic elasto-plastic a polymeric clay nanocomposite (PCN) using functionally graded (FG) is investig...

this paper deals with the determination of displacement function and thermal stresses of a finite length isotropic functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to uniform temperature field. the solution of the governing thermoelastic equation is obtained, as suggested by spencer et al. for anisotropic laminates.  numerical calculations are also carried out for fgm (functionally graded material...

Abstract An investigation of dynamic behaviors a sandwich plate containing an imperfect two dimensional functionally graded (2D-FG) core surrounded by faces on two-parameter elastic foundation and subjected to moving load is carried out in this paper. The present solid composed porous 2D-FG covered homogenous layers. It assumed that the middle layer has micro voids dispersed uniformly unevenly ...

In this paper, Asymmetric buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) Circular plates with temperature dependent property that subjected to the uniform radial compression and thermal loading is investigated. This plate is on an elastic medium that simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. Mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary nonlinearly by temperature change. The equili...

In this study, two goals are followed. First, by means of the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method, parametric analysis on the vibration characteristics of three-parameter Functionally Graded (FG) beams on variable elastic foundations is studied. These parameters include (a) three parameters of power-law distribution, (b) variable Winkler foundation modulus, (c) two-parameter elasti...

Thermal stress analysis of a thick-walled cylinder reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is considered in radial direction. Thick-walled cylinder is subjected to a thermal field. Two layouts of variations in the volume fraction of SWCNTs were considered in the composite cylinder along the radius from inner to outer surface, where their names are increm...
