Influence of flexoelectric effect on the bending rigidity of a Timoshenko graphene-reinforced nanorod

Abstract The focus of this work is to study the influence flexoelectric phenomenon on electromechanical response graphene-reinforced nanocomposite (GNC) nanorods. An analytical model has been derived by utilizing Timoshenko beam theory and principle variational incorporating effects. GNC nanorod subjected a concentrated load acting downward for clamped-free simply supported support types. reinforced with defective graphene sheet as it known show enhanced polarization. elastic properties sheets have evaluated using molecular dynamic simulations. outcome our shows that effect must be considered accurate modeling nanostructures. Irrespective type, improves stiffness nanorod. We also observed significantly influenced type. This presents an opportunity development high-performance graphene-based nanoactuators/sensors.
