Buckling Analysis of CNTRC Curved Sandwich Nanobeams in Thermal Environment

This paper presents a mathematical continuum model to investigate the static stability buckling of cross-ply single-walled (SW) carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) curved sandwich nanobeams in thermal environment, based on novel quasi-3D higher-order shear deformation theory. The study considers possible nano-scale size effects agreement with nonlocal strain gradient theory, including parameter (material scale) and length scale (size scale), account for size-dependent properties. Several types reinforcement material distributions are assumed, namely uniform distribution (UD) as well X- O- functionally graded (FG) distributions. properties also assumed be temperature-dependent Touloukian principle. problem is solved closed form by applying Galerkin method, where numerical performed systematically validate proposed model, check several factors response CNTRC nanobeams, distributions, boundary conditions, parameters, together some geometry properties, such opening angle slenderness ratio. verified an effective theoretical tool treat ranging from macroscale nanoscale, whose examples could great interest design many nanostructural components different engineering applications.
