Abstract: In this paper a zeroth-order shear deformation theory has been derived for static and dynamic analysis of laminated composite plates. The responses obtained by the theory for symmetric and ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a study on the active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of functionally graded (FG) laminated composite plates. The constraining layer ...

Abstract: The effect of waviness of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the load transfer characteristics of the short fuzzy fiber-reinforced composite (SFFRC) has been studied, considering the wavy CNTs to be coplanar with either of the two ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the derivation of exact solutions for the static analysis of functionally graded (FG) plates integrated with a layer of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFRC) ...

Abstract: We propose a new hybrid piezoelectric composite comprised of armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes and piezoelectric fibers as reinforcements embedded in a conventional polymer matrix. Effective ...
