Abstract

The present study focuses on the static and dynamic response of functionally graded carbon nanotube (FG-CNT)-reinforced rhombic laminates. The cubic variation of thickness coordinate in the displacement field is considered in terms of Taylor’s series expansion, which represents the higher-order transverse cross-sectional deformation modes. The condition of zero-transverse shear strain at upper and lower surface of FG-CNT-reinforced rhombic laminates is imposed in the present formulation. The present two-dimensional model is formulated in a finite element, with the C0 element consisting of seven nodal unknowns per node. The final material properties of FG-CNT-reinforced rhombic laminates are estimated using the rule of mixture. The obtained numerical are compared with the results available in the literature to verify the reliability of the present model. The present study investigates the effect of CNT distribution, loading pattern, volume fraction, and various combinations of boundary constraints by developing a finite element code in FORTRAN.
