Dynamic analysis of thick plates reinforced with agglomerated GNPs

In this work, the quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory (quasi-3D HSDT) is utilized to examine dynamics of thick rectangular plates reinforced with nanofillers known as graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Agglomeration GNPs incorporated and mechanical characteristics like shear, elastic, bulk moduli, Poisson's ratio, density are analysed according mixture along Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach. Hamilton's principle hired derive solving equations, Navier approach present an analytical solution in spatial domain, Newmark method provide approximate time domain. The relevance dynamic response natural frequencies plate on several parameters explored such dispersion pattern percentage agglomeration parameters. It discovered that for a specific percentage, growth amount agglomerated leads lower higher deflection. Meanwhile, mass fraction GNPs, volume clusters brings about
