In this work, the vibrations of viscoelastic functionally graded Euler–Bernoulli nanostructure beams are investigated using the fractional-order calculus. It is assumed that the functionally graded nanobeam (FGN) is due to a periodic heat flux. FGN can be considered as nonhomogenous composite structures; with continuous structural changes along the thick- ness of the nanobeam usually, it change...

This article deals with evaluating the frequency response of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced magneto-electro-elastic (FG-CNTMEE) plates subjected to open and closed electro-magnetic circuit conditions. In this regard finite element formulation has been derived. The plate kinematics adjudged via higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is considered for evaluation. equations m...

Ferrogels are low stiffness polymer materials with embedded magnetic powder filler, giving them the capability to strain in a magnetic field. The large strains, high energy densities and fast responses that have been reported make these materials attractive for actuator applications; however, a full understanding of the dynamic behavior is lacking. This paper presents an experimental study of t...
