摘要

The static, buckling, and free vibration characteristics of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) beam were determined using trigonometric shear deformation theory. The theory used in this study generates a nonlinear distribution of transverse shear stresses, which relies on the shear strain shape function. This theory satisfies the traction-free boundary conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the beam, therefore no shear correction factor is required. Hamilton’s principle was used to derive the governing differential equations and boundary conditions, while Navier’s solution technique provides the closed-form solution. The rule of mixture determines the material properties of FG-CNTRC beams with four CNT distribution patterns: UD-beam, FG-O, FG-X, and FG-V. The deformation, stresses, critical buckling load, and frequencies were evaluated using an analytical approach concerning various span thickness ratios, CNT Volume fraction, and CNT distribution. The results demonstrate the theory superiority over previous models, offering new reference data for future research.
