Bending, buckling and vibration analyses of MSGT microcomposite circular-annular sandwich plate under hydro-thermo-magneto-mechanical loadings using DQM

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the bending, buckling, vibration analyses of microcomposite circular-annular sandwich plate with CNT reinforced composite facesheets under hydro-thermo-magneto-mechanical loadings are presented using first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) that includes three material length scale parameters. Also, an isotropic homogeneous core is considered for microcomposite circular-annular sandwich plate. The generalized rule of mixture is employed to predict mechanical, moisture and thermal properties of microcomposite sandwich plate. By using Hamilton's principle, governing equations are solved by differential quadrature method (DQM) for a circular annular sandwich plate. The predicted results are validated by carrying out the comparison studies for the FGM plates by modified couple stress theory (MCST). The obtained results are given to indicate the influence of the material length scale parameter, core-to-facesheet thickness ratios, magnetic effect, thermal and moisture effects on the dimensionless deflection, critical buckling load, and natural frequency of microcomposite circular sandwich plate. The results can be employed in solid-state physics, materials science, nano-electronics, and nano electro-mechanical devices such as microactuators, and microsensor.

A review on recent research studies on vibration analysis of fluid-conveying nanotubes

“…Size-dependent approaches, such as non-local [37,38], strain gradient [39], and couple stress [40], are preferable solutions and can provide more accurate results in these situations. It should be noticed that the aforementioned theories contain parameters of size-dependent, the values of precise of which must be validated by experimental data [41] analytical [42,43], or simulated results [44]. The fabrication of material for conducting simulation or experimental analysis is a simple procedure for basic structures including graphene sheets or carbon nanotubes, but for composite structures, the procedure becomes difficult, forcing scientists to approximate the models using mathematics and hypotheses.…”

Dynamic stability of the double-bonded annular nanocomposite sandwich microplate on viscoelastic foundation

“…Under fluid follower forces, flutter and divergence instability of nanocomposite sandwich plate on the Pasternak foundation with magnetostrictive face sheets are performed by Khoddami [12] that effective elastic properties of the reinforced composite by carbon nanotubes are acquired by the rule of mixture. Mohammadimehr et al [13] analyzed bending, buckling and vibration behavior of micro composite circular-annular sandwich plate including reinforced carbon nanotubes face sheets under hydro-thermo-magneto-mechanical loadings. Free vibration of circular and annular sandwich plates with auxetic (negative Poisson’s ratio) cores and isotropic/orthotropic face sheets for different combinations of the boundary conditions is investigated by Alipour and Shariyat [14].…”

Electric field induced magnetization reversal in magnet/insulator nanoheterostructure

“…Generally, multi-field coupling provides more freedom for the design of nanoscale functional structure [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In detail, the electric-field control of magnetization can be realized either in multiferroic materials which possess more than one ferroic effects and the coupling between two of them, or in insulator/magnet heterostructure whose interface magnetic property can be well modulated by an external electric field.…”
