in this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. for this purpose, micro- and nano-sized caco3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...

Abstract In this study, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used to establish a nonlinear dynamic model for conical shell truncated by functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC). The vibration analyses of FG-GPLRC are presented. Considering platelets (GPLs) with three different distribution patterns, modified Halpin-Tsai calculate effective Young’s modu...

Free vibration characteristics of polymer composite plates reinforced by graphene nanosheets employing the Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory were investigated. Theoretical formulations are derived based on Hamilton’s principle implementing linear orthotropic constitutive equations of lamina while the behavior of nanostructure points affected by all other nonlocal points is also taken into acco...

The mechanical properties of the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/epoxy composites affected by carboxyl and amino functionalized MWCNT are investigated. Tensile tests of the specimens were carried out to obtain mechanical properties of MWCNT/epoxy composites for various weight-percents (wt %) of MWCNTs. In order to properly predict the mechanical properties of MWCNT reinforced epoxy composi...

In the present study, modelling and vibration analysis of Carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are investigated. The governing equations of the Carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are derived based on first order shear deformation plate theory, rather than other plate theories, due to accuracy and simplicity of polynomial functions. The modified couple stres...
