Abstract :
This paper presents an investigation on the bending of rectangular composite plate
reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with simply supported edges
subjected to uniform loading using the extended Kantorovich method (EKM ). The carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) are uniformly distributed (UD) in the thickness direction. The material
properties of SWCNTs are assumed to be temperature-dependent are obtained from
molecular dynamics (MD) simolations . For consideration the plate properties with
composite matrix reinforced by SWCNTs are used the rules of mixture. EKM iterative
procedure are based on the classical plate theory (CLPT) and The differential equations are
obtained by applying the Galerkin method . Successive application of EKM together
converts the governing forth-order partial differential equation (PDE) to two separate
ordinary differential equations (ODE) in terms of cartesian coordinates system. The
obtained ODE systems are then solved iteratively with very fast convergence. The
reliability of the present analytical method for nanocomposite plate under dif ferent
boundary condition was verified with ANSYS solution.
