چکیده

We utilize classical molecular dynamics to study flexural, or transverse wave propagation in monolayer graphene sheets and compare the resulting dispersion relationships to those expected from continuum thin plate theory. In doing so, we determine that regardless of the chirality for monolayer graphene, transverse waves exhibit a dispersion relationship that corresponds to the lowest order antisymmetric (A0) mode of wave propagation in a thin plate with plate thickness of h 1⁄4 0:104 nm. Finally, we find that the achievable wave speeds in monolayer graphene are found to exceed those reported previously for single walled carbon nanotubes, while the frequency of wave propagation in the graphene monolayer is found to reach the terahertz range, similar to that of carbon nanotubes.

Free vibration and buckling analysis of third-order shear deformation plate theory using exact wave propagation approach

In this paper, wave propagation approach is used to analysis the free vibration and buckling analysis of the thick rectangular plates based on higher order shear deformation plate theory. From wave viewpoint, vibrations can be considered as traveling waves along structures. Waves propagate in a waveguide and reflect at the boundaries. It is assumed that the plate has two opposite edge simply su...
