Effect of agglomeration on the natural frequencies of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced laminated composite doubly-curved shells

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) agglomeration on free vibrations of laminated composite doubly-curved shells and panels reinforced by CNTs is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free vibrations of free-form doubly-curved shells made of functionally graded materials using higher-order equivalent single layer theories

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the generalized displacement field of the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF), including the Zig-Zag (ZZ) effect given by the Murakami's function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free vibration analysis of arbitrarily shaped Functionally Graded Carbon Nanotube-reinforced plates

TL;DR: In this paper, a micromechanical model based on the agglomeration of these nanoparticles is considered, where the strong form of the equations governing a plate is solved by means of the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method.

Linear static response of nanocomposite plates and shells reinforced by agglomerated carbon nanotubes

TL;DR: In this article, the static response of composite plates and shells reinforced by agglomerated nanoparticles made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is investigated in a two-parameter model.

Multiscale approach for three‐phase CNT/polymer/fiber laminated nanocomposite structures

Abstract: The free vibration analysis of laminated nanocomposite plates and shells using first-order shear deformation theory and the generalized differential quadrature method is presented. Each layer of the laminate is modeled as a three-phase composite. An example of such composite material is given by a polymeric matrix reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs enhance the mechanical properties of the polymer matrix and the nanocomposite is treated as an isotropic material; a micromechanics model is used to compute the engineering constants of the isotropic hybrid material. This approach based on the Eshelby–Mori–Tanaka scheme takes into account the agglomeration of the nanoparticles in the matrix. The second step consists in combining this enriched matrix with unidirectional and oriented reinforcing fibers to obtain a fibrous composite with improved mechanical features. The overall mechanical properties of each orthotropic ply are evaluated through different micromechanics approaches. Each technique is illustrated in detail and the transversely isotropic properties of the three-phase layers are completely defined. The effects of both CNTs agglomeration and the mass fraction of these particles are investigated comparing with the results obtained by various homogenization techniques. POLYM.
