Also, the synergistic influence of two nanoparticles can be improved the mechanical properties and low-velocity impact response of CFRP composites. In this paper, the effects of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the mechanical properties, low-velocity impact response and damage area of epoxy/fiber carbon composites are investigated both simultaneously and individually. Composite specimens are fabricated with 0.4 weight percentages (wt.%) of RGO, 0.06 wt.% of MWCNTs individually, and a combination of RGO and MWCNTs with 0.6 and 0.06 wt.%, respectively. For comparison of the results, the neat epoxy specimens are fabricated and also tested. Direct homogenization technique is applied for preparation of nanocomposite mixture and then each layer of carbon fiber reinforced nanocomposite is fabricated using a hand lay-up process. Tensile modulus, tensile strength, variations of load, displacement, velocity, and absorbed energy of specimens versus time are obtained. For specimens with MWCNTs/RGO tensile modulus and tensile strength increased by about 21.30% and 17.12%, respectively, and the load peak increased by 15.15% at 1 J, 13.35% at 2 J, 39.62% at 3 J, and 39.62% at 3 J. It is concluded that the synergistic influence of MWCNTs and RGO on the results is more significant and has a higher effect on the impact responses. After the impact tests, Optical microscopy and SEM method are used to analyze fracture surfaces.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135643567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These technologies are rapidly incorporating advanced fluid media such as nanofluids and biological microorganisms. Inspired by bio-nanofluid applications in medicine, biological systems and biotechnology in the present study, mathematical model is evolved for unsteady bio convective conducting nanofluid along with gyrotactic micro-organisms squeezed between parallel disks. The lower disk and upper disks are solids. The temperature field is improved by the methods of haphazard motion of nanoparticles and thermophoresis parameters. The nano-bio transfer model is written as a series of non-linear partial differential equations that are reduced into a set of ordinary differential equations using suitable transforms. The dimensionless problem is then numerically solved by RK-4th order scheme utilizing MATLAB bvp4c solver’s package to investigate the impact of the squeezing parameter, Hartman number, Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameter on motile microorganism velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration, and density. The friction factor, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and microorganism number distributions on Hartman number, thermophoresis and Brownian motion factors are also computed. The Brownian motion and the thermophoresis factors of nanoparticles cause an increment in temperature profiles for both suction and injection. The concentration and motile microorganism are both amplified for the Brownian parameter in the case of injection, whereas they are declined for suction and the opposite trend is observed for the thermophoresis parameter. The motile microorganism is deflated for both suction and injection with thermophoresis parameter. Suction and injection adversely affect the transfer properties at the disks. The resistive magnetic body force prevails in the core zone, resulting in a decrease in velocity. The heat generation in squeeze films with motile microorganisms can be successfully removed with magnetic nanoparticles which require a longer serviceability of the lubrication system, bio-medical systems and need for less maintenance and a longer lifespan approach. The finding is pertinent to novel bio-microsystems that combine nanofluid and the bioconvection phenomenon. The percentage increase in heat, mass, and microorganism transport rates is calculated.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89484881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By considering the scale effects through additional kinematic descriptors and six constants for isotropic materials, the micropolar theory can accurately model complex materials like bone. This paper studies the buckling of a thick cylindrical shell using classical and non-classical theories. The cylinder’s material is considered bone and isotropic, and the critical load value for different geometries and boundary conditions has been obtained. Finally, the size-effect and importance of micropolar theory in micro dimensions are investigated. The micropolar equations are solved by a numerical solution using the 3D finite element method. The results show that decreasing the macroscopic length increases the stiffness of the cylinder more than that predicted by classical theory; In addition, by increasing the thickness of the cylinder and the importance of shear stresses, the micropolar theory predicts a more critical load than the classical one, and the result differences become more significant between micropolar and classical theories. Also, the characteristic length of the micropolar is investigated. The results show that the change of the critical load increased by moving toward the micro dimensions.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90945246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending upon the recent applications related to industrial products, engineering as well as bio-medical science nanofluids are used as the best coolant. A comparative study is carried out for the transformed governing equations using both approximate analytical, that is, “Variational Iteration Method” (VIM), “Homotopy Perturbation Method” (HPM), and numerical techniques such as the in-build MATLAB command bvp5c. The simulated result in connection to the behavior of the physical parameters is deployed through graphs. The current outcomes validate the earlier established results in particular cases showing the conformity and the convergence of the methodology adopted. However, the observation shows that, shear rate retards with the significant enhancement in the particle concentration of the metal nanoparticles as well as the suction further the heat transfer rate enhanced.

The right end of the cavity is open, and the left wall is supposed to be heated. Moreover, the horizontal walls are deemed to be permeable and maintained at ambient temperature. The successive over-relaxation (SOR) technique is applied with the finite-difference method to solve the dimensionless equations. A comparison is executed with formerly published results which provide a good agreement. The grid refinement test has also been carried out to increase the accuracy. Flow and temperature profiles are investigated for the Rayleigh number ( Ra = 104, 105, 106), Reynolds number (Re = 5, 8, 10, 20, 100), Hartmann number ( Ha = 0, 5, 10), concentration of nanoparticles ( φ1 or φ2 = 0.0, 0.05, 0.1), angle of inclination of the magnetic field ( γ = 0°, 30°, 45°), aspect ratio ( A = 1, 2, 3, 4), and suction/blow parameter ( S = −1, 0, 1). Results have been elucidated based on streamlines, isotherms, local Nusselt number ( Nu), and average Nusselt number ( Nuavg). It is noted that the changes in the variables significantly affect streamlines and isotherms. The heat transfer for Cu-Fe3O4/water hybrid nanofluid is higher about 9.98% compared to Fe3O4/water nanofluid and 26.41% compared to water.

The proposed method, referred to as Locally adaptive Strong Quadrature Element Method, is applied to higher-order equations of motion for nonlinear graded Timoshenko and Euler-Bernoulli nanobeams formulated using the Second Strain Gradient Theory or the Nonlocal Strain Gradient Theory. To limit the formulation complexity, the proposed approach is based on the regular formulation of the differential quadrature method combined with custom-built transfer matrices. Moreover, it does not require a different formulation for fourth and sixth-order equations and can be extended beyond sixth-order equations. Validation was carried out using examples from the literature as well as data obtained using the classical Locally adaptive Quadrature Element Method. Both linear and nonlinear frequencies were evaluated for a large number of configurations and boundary conditions.
