Sandwich plates with two thin stiff face-sheets and a soft center core have been used in many constructions for which the dominating load is transverse bending. Many theoretical/numerical analyses devoted to studying deformation mechanism of such structure. But relatively limited experimental investigations are present this field they often self-content little connection existing theoretical pu...

This paper introduces the concept of Fg-metric Space. We generalize G-metric space. Some supporting examples are given.

This article deals with the finite element modeling and free vibration analysis of functionally graded nanocomposite beams reinforced by randomly oriented straight single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Nanostructural materials can be used to alter mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of polymer-based composite materials, because of their superior properties and perfect atom arrangem...

In this manuscript, by using the semigroup theory, well-posedness and exponential stability for a Rao-Nakra sandwich beam equation with internal damping time delay is proved. The system consists of two wave equations longitudinal displacements top bottom layers, one Euler-Bernoulli transversal displacement. To best our knowledge from literature , time, no attention was given to asymptotic model...

We report a new and highly versatile approach to artificial layered materials synthesis which borrows concepts of molecular beam epitaxy, self-assembly, and graphite intercalation compounds. It readily yields stacks of graphene (or other two-dimensional sheets) separated by virtually any kind of "guest" species. The new material can be "sandwich like", for which the guest species are relatively...

When curved and straight sandwich panels are joined, localized bending effects arise in the vicinity of the curvature discontinuity. To investigate this the problem is analyzed using a high order sandwich beam theory. This, however, is not straight forward because the continuity conditions at a junction cannot be fulfilled in an exact sense. Instead an averaging scheme is suggested and used to ...
