In this study, the dynamic buckling of the embedded laminated nanocomposite plates is investigated. The plates are reinforced with the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and the Mori-Tanaka model is applied to obtain the equivalent material properties of them. Based on the sinusoidal shear deformation theory (SSDT), the motion equations are derived using the energy method and Hamilton's p...

Many brittle materials, such as concrete, piezoelectricity, have a large number of preexisting microcracks, The determination of their effective material properties has been the focus of considerable research. Current research into the development of effective material properties has mostly concentrated on the Taylor's method[l], the self-consistent method[2], the differential theory[3], the Mo...

The paper proposes an analytical homogenization procedure to predict the overall elastic properties of shot-earth, a sustainable composite material made excavated soil, aggregates and, if needed, binder for stabilization. A multi-step methodology based on Mori–Tanaka approach is used account stabilized soil inclusions. This proposed in order shorten mix-design procedures and readily provide str...

The scale effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the macro CNT-reinforced composites (CNTRCs) is analyzed, and free vibration characteristics a composite beam resting on viscoelastic foundation were studied. By combining nonlocal theory with Eshelby–Mori–Tanaka (EMT) method, EMT constitutive equation considering CNTs CNTRCs proposed. Based Timoshenko theory, governing equations corresponding boun...

In this paper, a multiscale method is developed to predict Young's modulus of fullerene-reinforced polymer nanocomposites (FRPNs). Polymethyl methacrylate chosen as the matrix, while C60 fullerene considered reinforcement. First, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted calculate Young nanocomposite unit cell with different weight fractions fullerene. Then, micromechanics model for com...

Explicit schemes of Mori-Tanaka and Kuster-Tokss oz for estimating elastic properties of multiphase composites are compared and contrasted. Both methods are known to have a limited range of validity. Reexamination of the theories and comparisons to experiment lead to the conclusion that these explicit schemes should not be used to estimate properties of systems in which the host material occupi...

We use the global collocation method, the first and the third-order shear deformation plate theories, the Mori–Tanaka technique to homogenize material properties, and approximate the trial solution with multiquadric radial basis functions to analyze free vibrations of functionally graded plates. Frequencies computed by the present method are found to agree well with those from the analytical so...

A new solution in closed form is obtained for the thermomechanical deformations of an isotropic linear thermoelastic functionally graded elliptic plate rigidly clamped at the edges. The through-thickness variation of the volume fraction of the ceramic phase in a metal–ceramic plate is assumed to be given by a power-law type function. The effective material properties at a point are computed by ...
