In the present work, the free vibration behavior of rectangular graphene sheet under shear in-plane load is studied. Nonlocal elasticity theory has been implemented to study the vibration analysis of orthotropic single-layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) subjected to shear in-plane load. The SLGSs is embedded on a viscoelastic medium which is simulated as a Visco-Pasternak foundation. Using the pri...

in this study, forced-vibration analysis of a coupled system of single layered graphene sheets (slgss) subjected to the moving nano-particle is carried out based on nonlocal elasticity theory of orthotropic plate. two slgss are coupled with elastic medium which is simulated by pasternak and visco-pasternak models. using hamilton’s principle, governing differential equations of motion are derive...

Graphene, a flat monolayer of carbon atoms tightly packed into a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years for potential applications in many technological fields, such as nanoelectronics, nanocomposites, and hydrogen supercapacitors. One possible route to harnessing these properties would be to incorporate graphene sheets into composite material...

In this paper, the effect of the temperature change on the vibration frequency of mono-layer graphene sheet embedded in an elastic medium is studied. Using the nonlocal elasticity theory, the governing equations are derived for single-layered graphene sheets. Using Levy and Navier solutions, analytical frequency equations for single-layered graphene sheets are obtained. Using Levy solution, the...

In this study, an in situ chemical synthesis approach has been developed to prepare graphene-Au nanocomposites from chemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in aqueous media. UV-Vis absorption, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy were used to demonstrate the successful attachment of Au nanoparticles to graphene sheets. C...

Noble metal nanoparticles are directly and homogeneously grown onto graphene-oxide (GO) sheets in oleylamine. After the oleylamine is removed, the GO sheets are exfoliated by the nanoparticle pillars to further form hierarchical GO nanostructures with molecule accessible nanopores. With specific sensing-groups modified, the porous-layered nanostructure can be constructed onto resonant microcant...

In this paper, we report how few layers graphene that can be produced in large quantity with low defect ratio from exfoliation of graphite by using a high intensity probe sonication in water containing liquid hand soap and PVP. It was founded that the graphene powder obtained by this simple exfoliation method after the heat treatment had an excellent exfoliation into a single or layered graphen...

Perforated single-layered graphene has demonstrated selectivity and flux that is orders of magnitude greater than state-of-the-art polymer membranes. However, only individual graphene sheets with sizes up to tens of micrometers have been successfully fabricated for pressurized permeation studies. Scaling-up and reinforcement of these atomic membranes with minimum cracks and pinholes remains a m...

Graphitic carbon nitride, a polymeric catalyst, was immobilized on the surfaces of chemically converted graphene sheets to form a layered composite, which exhibited greatly improved conductivity and electrocatalytic performance on oxygen reduction reaction.
