Abstract:
The vibrational characteristics of multilayer magnetic nanocomposite beams reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) are analytically investigated in this paper. The effects of an elastic foundation are also studied. The material properties of piece-wise GPL-reinforced nanocomposites (GPLRCs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction of the beams and can be estimated by using the modified Halpin-Tsai model and rules of mixtures. The two-dimensional elasticity theory is adopted to derive the governing equation combined with the state space method, and the analytical frequency equations for simply supported beams are obtained. In addition, the effects of a magnetic field are involved via Maxwell's equation, and the corresponding Lorentz forces are considered in this work. Numerical examples are carried out to examine the effects of magnetic fields in various directions, the GPL distribution pattern, the scale parameter and weight function of GPLs, as well as an elastic foundation, on the vibration behaviors of functionally graded (FG)-GPLRC beams.
