The nonlinear buckling analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) plates subjected to axial compression load is analytically examined in this paper. Assuming that the FG-CNTRC are stiffened by an oblique stiffener system. Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation plate theory (HSDPT) with geometrical nonlinearities von Kármán applied establish basic formulation...

This Note reports on numerical simulations of the kinematic dynamo action in a test flow modeling the Von Kármán Sodium (VKS) experiment performed at CEA-Cadarache. We show that the conductivity of the vessel greatly influences the critical magnetic Reynolds number. These effects are dramatically amplified as the ratio of the conductivity of the vessel to that of the sodium increases from 1 to ...

This article presents a finite element reduced order model for the nonlinear vibrations of piezoelectric layered beams with application to NEMS. In this model, the geometrical nonlinearities are taken into account through a von Kármán nonlinear strain–displacement relationship. The originality of the finite element electromechanical formulation is that the system electrical state is fully descr...

composites provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes.  carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites exhibit excellent fatigue tolerance with high specific strength and stiffness. these properties led to their numerous advanced applications ranging from military and civil aircraft structures to consumer products. the modelling of beams undergoing arbitrarily ...

in this study, nonlocal nonlinear instability and the vibration of a double carbon nanotube (cnt) system have been investigated. the visco-pasternak model is used to simulate the elastic medium between nanotubes, on which the effect of the spring, shear and damping of the elastic medium is considered. both of the cnts convey a viscose fluid and a uniform longitudinal magnetic field is applied t...

This paper presents a nonlinear vibration analysis of functionally graded graphene platelet (GPL) reinforced plates on elastic foundations. Uniformly or non-uniformly distributed internal pores were present in the plates. Based modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model and extended rule mixture, material properties evaluated. The governing equations, coupled with effect foundations, derived by ...

A general framework is developed to study the deformation and stress response in F{\"o}ppl-von K{\'a}rm{\'a}n shallow shells for a given distribution of defects, such as dislocations, disclinations, interstitials, metric anomalies, thermal growth strains. The theory includes dislocations disclinations whose defect lines can both pierce two-dimensional surface lie within surface. An essential as...
