Therefore, this work attempts to improve the in-plane and transverse stretching stiffness of sandwich structures by using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to reinforce face sheets. To this end, it is necessary to understand well the influence of CNTs distributions on the three-dimensional (3D) vibration of functionally graded sandwich plates. Therefore, an extended global–local higher-order model will be proposed to accurately predict 3D vibration behaviors of sandwich structures reinforced by the CNTs, as the existing equivalent single-layer models will encounter difficulties in accurately analyzing such issues. Based on the proposed model, analytical solutions and finite element formulation have been presented to study the dynamic behaviors of sandwich plates with reinforcement of the CNTs, which have been verified by 3D elasticity solutions and three-dimensional finite element results. Moreover, the influence of the CNTs distributions and volume fractions on the vibration behaviors of sandwich plates has been investigated. Finally, by selecting appropriate profiles of the CNTs through the thickness, the in-plane and transverse stretching stiffness of sandwich structures can be significantly improved.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":477,"journal":{"name":"Archive of Applied Mechanics","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142875191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the fractional temperature rate-dependent porous-thermo-elasticity theories have been historically proposed, the theoretical formulations still adopt the classical fractional derivatives with singular kernels, and the inherent strain relaxation effect and the associated memory dependency are not considered yet in the ultrafast heating condition. To compensate for such deficiency, the present work aims to establish a fractional-order rate-dependent porous-thermo-elasticity model based on the new fractional derivatives with the non-singular kernels (i.e., Caputo–Fabrizio, Atangana–Baleanu, and tempered Caputo fractional derivatives). With the aids of the extended thermodynamic principles, the new constitutive and governing equations are obtained. The proposed theoretical model is applied to investigate the 1D transient dynamic response analysis of magnesium-based porous half-space with voids by applying the Laplace transformation approach.

Currently, the impact of base excitation on the PMB-rotor system and methods for enhancing the stability of the PMB-rotor system under base excitation remain subjects of investigation. Hence, this study focuses on conducting stability analysis of the PMB-rotor system under the influence of base excitation. Firstly, the theoretical model of PMB based on the Halbach array is established, and then the system dynamics model of PMB-rotor under base excitation is established by using the second Lagrange equation. Finally, according to the established dynamic model, the effects of base excitation parameters, structural parameters, and external damping on the stability of the PMB-rotor system under base excitation are analysed through the root locus method.

The FG orthotropic layer, which rests on a rigid, non-adhesive substrate, is treated as a nonhomogeneous medium with an orthotropic stress–strain relationship. Part of its top surface experiences normal tractions, while the rest remains traction-free. The analysis also incorporates the gravitational force affecting the FG orthotropic layer. Five distinct real orthotropic materials are used, each with individually graded stiffness constants in their principal directions, to define the FG orthotropic behavior of the material.
