In this article, using generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) methods, free vibration of a thin annular plate coupled with two open circuit piezoelectric layers, is numerically studied based on the classical plate theory. The governing differential equations with respective boundary conditions are derived and transformed into a set of algebraic equations by implementing the GDQ rule, then so...

Abstract. In the present work, a two-dimensional model based on higher order Layer-Wise (LW) approach is presented for static and dynamic analysis of doubly-curved anisotropic shell structures. The Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) methodology also obtained as particular case LW. Each lamina stacking sequence modelled an continuum. fundamental equations account both surface concentrated loads, well...

Abstract– This article describes an investigation into the free vibration of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) using a nonlocal elastic shell model. Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity is implemented to incorporate the scale effect into the Donnell shell model. Also, the van der Waals interaction between the inner and outer nanotubes is taken into account. A new numerical solution method from i...

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...

In this paper, an attempt is made for solution of free vibration analysis of annular plate reinforced with carbon nanotubes for Uniformly Distribution (UD), resting on an elastic foundation using a refined theory presented. In this theory, a parabolic distribution of shear stress and strain in the thickness direction and satisfies the boundary conditions of zero shear stress on the upper and lo...

In this work, we study the vibration and bending response of functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) rectangular plates embedded on different substrates thermal conditions. The governing equations problem along with boundary conditions are determined by employing minimum total potential energy Hamilton’s principle, within a higher-order shear deformation theoretic...
