In this research, thermal buckling of thin rectangular plate made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) with linear varying thickness is considered. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The supporting condition of all edges of such a plate is simply supported. ...

the theoretical and experimental investigation on the thermo-mechanical properties of carbon nanotube (cnt) as reinforcer for oil and gas pipes has increasingly become a hot research area for many engineers and material scientists in recent years. this is mainly due to the advent of the new composite material systems that exhibit exotic material and mechanical properties as compared to the trad...

In this article, curvature effects on elastic thermal buckling of double-walled carbon nanotubes under axially compressed force are investigated using cylindrical shell model. Also, the small scale effect is taken into account in the formulation. The dependence of the interlayer van der Waals (vdW) pressure on the change of the curvatures of the inner and outer tubes at that point is considered...

Knowledge of and control over the curvature of ripples in freestanding graphene are desirable for fabricating and designing flexible electronic devices, and recent progress in these pursuits has been achieved using several advanced techniques such as scanning tunnelling microscopy. The electrostatic forces induced through a bias voltage (or gate voltage) were used to manipulate the interaction ...

existence of cracks in industrial structures is one of the important causes of their failure, especially when they are subjected to important axial compressive forces that might lead to buckling. therefore, it must be considered in stress analysis and designing and loading of such structures. in this paper, the buckling and post-buckling behaviors of stainless-steel cracked plates under axial c...

This paper presents a molecular dynamics (MD) study on the thermally induced buckling of pre-compressed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using AIREBO interatomic potential. CNTs are compressed at a certain ratio of their critical buckling strain and then undergo a uniform temperature rise. In order to evaluate the chirality effects, armchair and zigzag CNTs are investigated. The results demonstrate that...
