1、Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are new advanced materials with high strength, high stiffness, high aspect ratio, and low density.Thus, CNTs are attracting significant research attention.Experimental, analytical, and theoretical

11、 (FGMs), in which material properties spatially vary according to a certain non-uniform distribution of one of the constituents, offer significant potential for use in various engineering applications.Stimulated by the c

12、oncept of FGMs, the functionally graded (FG) distribution pattem of reinforcement has been successfully applied for CNT-reinforced nanocomposites.In actual structural applications, CNT-reinforced composites, as a type of

13、 advanced material, may be incorporated in the form of beams, plates, or shells as structural components.Therefore, exploring the mechanical responses of the structures is important.The performance of structure system is

14、 highly dependent on the mechanical behaviors of the structural components, such as bending, free vibration, buckling, large deformation, and postbuckling.Given that the geometry and material properties can significantly

15、 affect the mechanical responses, the influence of some geometry and material parameters are studied.Furthermore, the effect of CNT distribution in the CNT-reinforced nanocomposite structure and boundary conditions is ex

17、 the construction of constitutive relationship, a novel element-free numerically computational framework termed the element-free kernel particle (kp)-Ritz method is proposed to study mechanical behaviors of CNT-reinforce

18、d nanocomposites.Given that the shape function is a critical factor in the development of an element-free method, the construction of the shape functions and their derivatives are described based on the kp concept.Based

19、on kp approximations for the field variables, the Ritz method is employed to obtain the discretized governing equations.Using convergency and comparison studies, the accuracy and efficiency of this method is validated by

20、 comparisons with available published results.This research is a systemic theoretical and numerical study of the mechanical behaviors of CNT-reinforced nanocomposite plate and cylindrical panel.A comprehensive study of t

28、 the effects of some geometry and material parameters on the mechanical responses.Finally, this approach is extended to the study of dynamic stability analysis of CNT-reinforced FG cylindrical panels under static and per
