This paper deals with an analytical approach to predict the nonlinear buckling behavior of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite laminated cylindrical shells under axial compressive load surrounded by Pasternak’s elastic foundation in a thermal environment. Piece-wise functionally graded graphene-reinforced, composite layers are sorted with different types of graphene distribution. ...

   The main purpose of the present investigation is to analyze more comprehensively the size-dependent nonlinear free vibration response of multilayer functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (GPLRC) nanobeams. As a consequence, both of the hardening stiffness and softening stiffness of size effect are taken into consideration by implementation of the nonlocal str...

Under the influence of axial forces and uniform temperature variations, thermal buckling postbuckling composite beams reinforced functionally graded multilayer graphene platelets (GPLs) resting on nonlinear elastic foundations are examined. The Halpin-Tsai model is used to calculate modulus each layer GPL-reinforced (GPLRC). According virtual work principle, governing equations for beam obtaine...

The present work derives the exact analytical solutions for buckling and post-buckling analysis of nano-composite beams reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and principle of virtual work. The reinforcements are considered to be aligned in the polymeric matrix either unifor...

A functionally graded (FG) material system is employed to make fiber use more efficient in a fiber reinforced cement composite (FRCC). This preliminary study demonstrates beam elements that were functionally graded fiber reinforced cement composite (FGFRCC) with four layers, each with a different fiber volume ratio. Fiber volume ratio was graded in accordance with its potential contribution to ...

A new analytical approach for nonlinear thermal buckling of Functionally Graded Graphene Platelet Reinforced Composite (FG-GPLRC) circular plates and shallow spherical caps using the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is presented in this paper. The are assumed to be subjected uniformly distributed loads. By applying Galerkin method, relations between load–deflection achieved determine...
