In this paper, the influence of the elastic foundation on the free vibration and buckling of thin-walled piezoelectric-based functionally graded materials (FGM) cylindrical shells under combined loadings is investigated. The equations of motion are obtained by using the principle of Hamilton and Maxwell's equations and the Navier's type solution used to solve these equations. Material propertie...

This paper presents new exact 3-D (three-dimensional) elasticity closed-form solutions for out-of-plane free vibration of thick rectangular single layered FG (functionally graded) plates and thick rectangular homogeneous plate coated by a functionally graded layer with simply supported boundary conditions. It is assumed that the plate is on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation and elasticity ...

Abstract In this paper, the shock response of functionally graded Al-PTFE granular composites is firstly investigated by means mesoscale simulations. A tailored arrangement filler infiltrated with matrix to study effects density gradient on mechanical and chemical characteristics material under impact loading. Based wave propagations, noticeable differences among pressure, temperature, strain a...

Hybrid composites are characterized by a variety of properties that are of interest to automotive applications, including strength, mechanical, and thermal properties. In this work, palm kernel shell-filled maleated polypropylene composites and palm kernel shell/nanosilica-filled maleated polypropylene hybrid composites were produced using a Brabender Internal Mixer. The results showed that the...

With the development of advanced manufacturing technologies, importance functionally graded materials is increasing due to their advantages over widely used traditional composites. In this study, a new higher order beam formulation presented by using peridynamics. Both thin and thick beams can be analysed formulation. Moreover, there no need use shear correction factor. Euler-Lagrange equations...
