Flexoelectricity and surface effects on coupled electromechanical responses of graphene reinforced functionally graded nanocomposites: A unified size-dependent semi-analytical framework

Viscoelastic free vibration analysis of in-plane functionally graded orthotropic plates integrated with piezoelectric sensors: Time-dependent 3D analytical solutions

“…A significant number of mathematical models have been developed for bending, fracture and natural frequency investigation of functionally graded beams, rectangular plates, and shell structures. An extensive review of the work related to functionally graded structures, presented by Byrd [4], Wu et al [5] and Swaminathan et al [6], suggests that in most of the studies through-thickness gradation of properties is considered following deterministic and stochastic frameworks [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, over the last few years, the focus is getting diverted toward the in-plane and multidirectional functionally graded structures because it gives more freedom to control the material properties of thin structures for meeting application-specific demands, such as specific stiffness, strength, impact and thermal resistance, high fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, and acoustic properties [5].…”

Multilevel Fully Integrated Electromechanical Property Modulation of Functionally Graded Graphene‐Reinforced Piezoelectric Actuators: Coupled Effect of Poling Orientation

“…[28][29][30] Several studies have been conducted to explore the mechanical properties of graphene-based composites. [31][32][33] Kitipornchai et al [34] used a continuum model to analyze vibration with different mode shapes of multilayered graphene sheets. They showed that by varying the number of layers in a multilayered graphene sheet, different resonance modes can be determined.…”

‘Magic’ of twisted multi-layered graphene and 2D nano-heterostructures

“…Its one atomic thick two dimensional (2D) nature gives rise to some exceptional phenomena such as ultra-high electron mobility [6,7], superior thermal conductivity [8], unconventional quantum Hall effect [9], generation of massless Dirac fermions [10,11] etc along with extraordinary mechanical properties in terms of strength and Young's modulus [12][13][14]. Graphene and its different derivatives along with the effect of defects and doping have been at the centre of attraction over the last decade for exploring various multifunctional properties [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The physical properties vary significantly when two or more layers come into play (referred to as nano-heterostructure [25][26][27]) due to interlayer coupling, stacking sequences, and twisting.…”
