Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical methodology for the nonlinear vibration of a functionally graded microplate under transverse patch loadings. The higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is combined with the modified ...

Abstract: The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in augmenting the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced laminated composites is a fact. In this paper, the semianalytical studies on the dynamic instability behavior and linear and ...
