“…The Bernoulli-Euler beam theory considers the following displacement field 𝒖(𝒙, 𝑡) = 𝑢 (𝑥, 𝑧, 𝑡)𝒆 𝒙 + 𝑢 (𝑥, 𝑧, 𝑡)𝒆 𝒛 (6) where 𝒆 𝒙 and 𝒆 𝒛 are, respectively, the unit vectors along x-and z-axes; 𝑢 (𝑥, 𝑧, 𝑡) and 𝑢 (𝑥, 𝑧, 𝑡) indicate the Cartesian components of the displacement field along 𝑥 and 𝑧 axes at time t, expressed as follows As it is well-known, for a Bernoulli-Euler FG nanobeam whose mechanical and physical properties vary along the thickness (z), it can be assumed that the bulk elastic modulus of elasticity, E B = E B (z), the surface modulus of elasticity, E S = E S (z), the residual surface stress, τ S = τ S (z), the bulk mass density, ρ B = ρ B (z), and the surface mass density, ρ S = ρ S (z), follow power-law functions as given below [28]…”

This paper employs a surface stress-driven nonlocal theory to investigate the synergistic impact of long-range interaction and surface energy on higher vibration modes of Bernoulli–Euler nanobeams made of functionally graded material. It takes into account surface effects such as the surface modulus of elasticity, residual surface stresses, surface density, and rotary inertia. The governing equation is derived through the application of Hamilton’s principle. The novelty of this work lies in its pioneering approach to studying higher-order vibrations, carefully considering the combination of long-range interactions and surface energy in nanobeams of functionally graded materials through a well-posed mathematical model of nonlocal elasticity. This study conducts a parametric investigation, examining the effects of the nonlocal parameter and the material gradient index for four static schemes: Cantilever, Simply-Supported, Clamped-Pinned and Clamped-Clamped nanobeams. The outcomes are presented and discussed, highlighting the normalized nonlocal natural frequencies for the second through fifth modes of vibration in each case under study. In particular, this study illustrates the central role of surface effects in the dynamic response of nanobeams, emphasizing the importance of considering them. Furthermore, the parametric analysis reveals that the dynamic response is influenced by the combined effects of the nonlocal parameter, the material gradient index, the shapes of the cross-sections considered, as well as the static scheme analyzed.

“…Additionally, nanoadditives can be used to control the structure and morphology of membranes. They can influence the size, shape and distribution of pores or other structural features, which can impact the membrane's performance [66]. Abdollahi et al [67] suggests that incorporating clay and bovine bone nanoadditives into ceramic nanocomposites can have a significant positive impact on the absorption of Ni (II) and Co (II) ions from wastewater [67].…”

Chitosan (CS)-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have gained significant attention in fuel cell applications owing to their numerous benefits, such as environmental friendliness, flexibility for structural alteration, and improved mechanical, thermal and chemical durability. This study aims to enhance the cell performance of CS-based AEMs by addressing key factors including mechanical stability, ionic conductivity, water absorption and expansion rate. While previous reviews have predominantly focused on CS as a proton-conducting membrane, the present mini-review highlights the advancements of CS-based AEMs. Furthermore, the study investigates the stability of cationic head groups grafted to CS through simulations. Understanding the chemical properties of CS, including the behaviour of grafted head groups, provides valuable insights into the membrane’s overall stability and performance. Additionally, the study mentions the potential of modern cellulose membranes for alkaline environments as promising biopolymers. While the primary focus is on CS-based AEMs, the inclusion of cellulose membranes underscores the broader exploration of biopolymer materials for fuel cell applications.

“…The addition of macroscopic carbon fiber reinforcement into the HM can constitute a three-phase composite material, and the equivalent material properties of this three-phase composite material are calculated in this subsection according to the Mori-Tanaka method, where the Mori-Tanaka method is expressed using the average behavior of the matrix and fiber materials. The longitudinal modulus and transverse modulus of elasticity of the carbon fiber are defined as E 1 f and E 2 f , the in-plane shear modulus and external shear modulus are denoted as G 12 f and G 13 f , Poisson's ratio is denoted as ν 12 f , and density is denoted as ρ f , respectively. The carbon fiber reinforcement is considered to be transversely isotropic with the properties of ν 12 f = ν 13 f and E 2 f = E 3 f .…”

New three-phase composite structures reinforced synergistically by nano-fillers and macroscopic fibers have great application potential. This paper presents a general framework for material properties calculation and the free vibration analysis of three-phase composite shell structures. Based on this methodological system, the free vibration characteristics of three types of nano-enhanced functionally graded three-phase composite cylindrical shells are investigated. First, the equivalent mechanical properties of these three three-phase composites were evaluated using the Halpin–Tsai and Mori–Tanaka models. The governing equations for the cylindrical shells were derived based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Hamilton’s principle. The equations were discretized using Galerkin’s method and solved to obtain the natural frequencies and mode shapes. The finite element simulation results and existing literature verified the accuracy and reliability of the method in this paper. The synergistic effects of nano-reinforced fillers and macroscopic fibers on the free vibrations of these structures were also analyzed. Among them, the natural frequency of the three-phase composite cylindrical shells was the highest when graphene platelets (GPLs) were used as the nano-reinforced fillers, which was 150.32% higher than that of fiber-reinforced epoxy composite cylindrical shells. These studies provide theoretical guidance for the design and manufacture of such symmetric or antisymmetric structures in the future.
