On stability of laminated functionally graded nanocomposite panels in various media: modelling and examples
In various branches of contemporary engineering and in industries requiring advanced technology, carbon nanotubes and their combinations have the widest application area among new generation composites.
Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes in 1991, their superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties have been demonstrated. One of the most important features of carbon nanotubes is their use as reinforcement. This extraordinary feature has enabled the formation of nanocomposites. Nanocomposites are multiphase solid composites with structures having nanoscale repeat distances between different phases. Although nanocomposites are usually based on polymers, metals, ceramics, etc., the most common are polymer-based nanocomposites. Nanocomposites can have homogeneous and functionally graded (FG) orthotropic material properties.
In recent years, nanocomposites have provided significant improvements in thermal, mechanical, thermal, electrical and barrier properties compared to traditional composites. The commercialization of products made from polymer-based nanocomposites with such unique properties has increased their popularity and opened up a wide area for modern engineering applications requiring advanced technology. For example, carbon nanotube reinforced polymer based nanocomposites are used as horizontal and vertical stabilizers, rudders, elevator covers, flaps, slats, fuselage, cockpit, turbine engine, wings and ailerons in space shuttles and commercial aircraft such as Boeing 787 and Airbus A380.
While functionally graded nanocomposites were initially used in the formation of single layer main structural elements, they have recently been preferred in multilayer structural systems. These applications require mathematical modeling during the design of structural elements consisting of FG-nanocomposite layers, especially nanocomposite laminated panels, and the examination of their behavior in various environments.
In this study, mechanical properties of multilayer nanocomposite cylindrical panels and modeling of laminated systems consisting of FG-nanocomposite layers in different environments and examples of their stability behavior will be presented.
