Abstract: This paper studies the nonlinear bending behavior of a novel class of multi-layer polymer nanocomposite beams reinforced with graphene platelets (GPLs) that are non-uniformly distributed along the thickness direction. Nonlinear governing equation is established based on Timoshenko beam theory and von Karman nonlinear strain-displacement relationship. The effective Young's modulus of the nanocomposites is determined by modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model. Ritz method is employed to reduce the governing differential equation into an algebraic system from which the static bending solutions can be obtained. A comprehensive parametric study is then conducted, with a particular focus on the influences of distribution pattern, weight fraction, geometry and size of GPLs together with the total number of layers on the linear and nonlinear bending performances of the beams. Numerical results demonstrate the significantly improved bending performance through the addition of a very small amount of GPLs into polymer matrix as reinforcements. It is found that dispersing more GPLs that are in square shape with fewer single graphene layers near the top and bottom surfaces of the beam is the most effective way to reduce bending deflections. Beams with a higher weight fraction of GPLs that are symmetrically distributed in such a way are also less sensitive to the nonlinear deformation.

Abstract: Integropartial differential equations of the linear theory of nonlocal elasticity are reduced to singular partial differential equations for a special class of physically admissible kernels. Solutions are obtained for the screw dislocation and surface waves. Experimental observations and atomic lattice dynamics appear to support the theoretical results very nicely.
