Analysis shows significant effects of volume fractions and thickness ratios on vibration response in functionally graded plates, highlighting the importance of CNT distribution.
Key Points
The study reveals that volume fractions and thickness ratios significantly impact the buckling response of functionally graded plates.
Parametric analysis demonstrated effects of CNT distributions on vibration behavior, confirming the findings are compatible with FEM results.
Hamilton's principle was employed to derive the equations of motion for the analysis of the plates under uniaxial loads.
Results were validated through comparison with the finite element method (FEM) using Ansys software for accuracy.
