Rotating composite beams and blades have a wide range of applications in various
engineering structures such as wind turbines, industrial fans, and steam turbines. Therefore …

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are novel materials whose properties change
gradually with respect to their dimensions. It is the advanced development of formerly used …

In the 1st stage deployment of the IKAROS solar sail, the flexible beam with comparable
mass relative to the mass of the rotor is stretching actively in the axial direction, which brings …

This paper studies free vibrational behavior of porous nanocomposite shells reinforced with
graphene platelets (GPLs). GPLs are uniformly and nonuniformly distributed thorough the …

Flexoelectricity is the phenomenon of electric polarization caused by the strain gradient,
which usually has a huge effect on nanoscale structures. This paper firstly combines the …

A size-dependent three-dimensional dynamic model of rotating functionally graded (FG)
microbeams is developed based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. A two-constituent …

Free vibration behavior of bidirectional-functionally graded, double-tapered rotating micro-
beam is investigated. An improved mathematical model based on Timoshenko beam theory …

This paper presents a new structural dynamic model with which vibration characteristics of
rotating blades made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) can be investigated. The …

A dynamic model of a functionally graded rectangular plate undergoing large overall
motions is presented in this paper. The material properties of the FGM plate are assumed to …

The present work reviews different approaches adopted for modeling the geometrical or
centrifugal stiffening of a beam due to rotation about an axis perpendicular to its longitudinal …
