This paper investigates the effect of different methods of carbon nanotubes distribution in a thin matrix on static and dynamic behavior of the nanocomposite. Five different symmetric patterns of distribution are considered, including four parabolic patterns and a linear one. For each pattern, the effective mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposite are calculated using the […]
In this study, an inverse trigonometric nanobeam theory is applied for the bending, buckling, and free vibration analysis of nanobeams using Eringen’s nonlocal theory. The present theory satisfies zero shear stress conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the nanobeam using constitutive relations. Equations of motion are derived by applying Hamilton’s principle. The present […]
