Abstract


In this work we investigate dynamic behavior of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (CNTRC) plates resting on the Pasternak elastic foundation including shear layer and Winkler springs. The plates are reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes with diffrent distributions of uni-axially aligned reinforcement material. Exact solutions obtained from closed-form formulation based on higher order shear deformation plat theory. An accuracy of the present solutions is validated numerically by comparisons with some available results in the literature. Various significant parameters of carbon nanotube volume fraction, spring constant factors, plate thickness and aspect ratios, etc. are taken into investigation. According to the numerical results, it is revealed natural frequency increases as the increment of the factors for every type of plate.
