TL;DR: The most recently developed functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) where GPLs are non-uniformly dispersed with more GPLs in the area where they are most needed to achieve significantly improved mechanical performance has opened up a new avenue for the development of next generation structural forms with an excellent combination of high stiffness, light weight and multi-functionality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic instability of a functionally graded porous arch reinforced with uniformly distributed graphene platelets (GPLs) under the combined action of a static force and a dynamic uniform pressure in the radial direction was investigated.

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel method in which the impact-induced damage to a structure is simulated in order to obtain the relationship between the damage volume ratio to the RMSD index, and the relationship can be used to predict the true damage degree by comparison to the empirical R MSD index.

TL;DR: In this article, the presence of shear-induced wrinkles and chemical modification of graphene using functional groups can significantly increase its surface roughness, enhance the van der Waal (vdW) interaction and consequently lead to higher interfacial shear strength between graphene and metal matrix.

TL;DR: In this paper, in-plane and out-of-plane free vibration analyses of functionally graded graphene nanoplatelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) arches are presented.
