Bending, buckling and vibration analyses of MSGT microcomposite circular-annular sandwich plate under hydro-thermo-magneto-mechanical loadings using DQM

چکیده مقاله

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the bending, buckling, vibration analyses of microcomposite circular-annular sandwich plate with CNT reinforced composite facesheets under hydro-thermo-magneto-mechanical loadings are presented using first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) that includes three material length scale parameters. Also, an isotropic homogeneous core is considered for microcomposite circular-annular sandwich plate. The generalized rule of mixture is employed to predict mechanical, moisture and thermal properties of microcomposite sandwich plate. By using Hamilton’s principle, governing equations are solved by differential quadrature method (DQM) for a circular annular sandwich plate. The predicted results are validated by carrying out the comparison studies for the FGM plates by modified couple stress theory (MCST). The obtained results are given to indicate the influence of the material length scale parameter, core- to-facesheet thickness ratios, magnetic effect, thermal and moisture effects on the dimensionless deflection, critical buckling load, and natural frequency of microcomposite circular sandwich plate. The results can be employed in solid-state physics, materials science, nano-electronics, and nano electro-mechanical devices such as microactuators, and microsensor.
