Thick shells have attracted much attention in recent years as intelligent and functional graded materials because of their unique properties. In this review paper, some critical issues and problems in the development of thick shells made from Functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) are discussed. This review has been conducted on various types of methods which are available for thick ...

In this paper, a new viscoelastic size-depended model developed based on a modified couple stress theory and the for nonlinear viscoelastic material in order to vibration analysis of a viscoelastic nanoplate. The material of the nanoplate is assumed to obey the Leaderman nonlinear constitutive relation and the von Kármán plate theory is employed to model the system. The viscous parts of the clas...

The nanostructures under rotation have high promising future to be used in nano-machines, nano-motors and nano-turbines. They are also one of the topics of interests and it is new in designing of rotating nano-systems. In this paper, the scale-dependent vibration analysis of a nanoplate with consideration of the axial force due to the rotation has been investigated. The governing equation and b...

let $g$ be a group with identity $e$. let $r$ be a $g$-graded commutative ring with a non-zero identity and $m$ be a graded $r$-module. in this article, we introduce the concept of graded almost semiprime submodules. also, we investigate some basic properties of graded almost semiprime and graded weakly semiprime submodules and give some characterizations of them.

This paper discusses static and dynamic response of nanoplate resting on an orthotropic visco-Pasternak foundation based on Eringen’s nonlocal theory. Graphene sheet modeled as nanoplate which is assumed to be orthotropic and viscoelastic. By considering the Mindlin plate theory and viscoelastic Kelvin-Voigt model, equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle which are then solved...

A comparison of the buckling analysis of the nanoplate and nanocomposite plate with a central square hole embedded in the Winkler foundation is presented in this article. In order to enhance the mechanical properties of the nanoplate with a central cutout, the uniformly distributed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are applied through the thickness direction. In order to define the shape function of the ...

Hexagonal Ag/Pt nanoshells were prepared by using a hexagonal Ag nanoplate as the displacement template and by introducing Pt ions. The prepared Ag/Pt nanoshells played the role of an electrocatalyst in an oxygen reduction process. Compared to spherical Pt and Ag/Pt nanoparticles, the hexagonal Ag/Pt nanoshells showed higher activity for oxygen electroreduction.

The present communication demonstrates the proof of concept of using CoFe layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDHs) nanoplates as an effective peroxidase mimetic to catalyze the oxidation of peroxidase substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in the presence of H(2)O(2) to produce a blue solution. We further demonstrate successfully CoFe-LDHs nanoplate-based colorimetric assay to detect H(2)O(2) and...

Silver nanoplate hierarchical turreted ordered arrays were fabricated through an electro-deposition method on ordered acuate silicon nanocone templates. Such arrays can be used as SERS substrates for trace analyses of streptomycin sulphate, and exhibit high activity and stability. This work is of importance in practical applications based on the SERS effect of noble metal micro/nano-structured ...
