文摘

A comprehensive study on elastodynamic behavior of regular polygonal carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced functionally graded composite plates subjected to a sudden transverse dynamic load is presented in this paper. This analysis uses as its base the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and the element-free IMLS-Ritz method, to conduct a numerical simulation. A numerical time integration for the dynamic problems is performed using the Newmark-β method. Convergence studies are carried out for an isotropic square plate with different support sizes and different numbers of nodes. Parametric studies are further carried out to investigate the effect of four special regular polygons with different CNT volume fractions, CNT distribution types, plate apothem-to-thickness ratios and boundary conditions on the dynamic behaviors of regular polygonal CNT-reinforced composite plates.
