Thermal Buckling Behaviors of Sandwich Beams Covered by FG-CNTR Nanocomposite Facesheets

This chapter will examine the buckling problem of a three-layered sandwich beam in the presence of thermal gradient. The structure under observation is a sandwich beam with a homogeneous core surrounded by two FG nanocomposites reinforced with CNTs. The dependency of the constituent materials on the local temperature is covered using temperature-dependent material properties for the homogeneous core and nanocomposite facesheets.
