ABSTRACT
The deformation behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube–reinforced composite perforated panel is examined under thermomechanical loading conditions. In this study, single-walled carbon nanotube and PmPV are assumed as reinforcement and matrix materials, respectively. The temperature-dependent material properties are adopted, and the overall effective material properties of functionally graded carbon nanotube–reinforced composite perforated panel are evaluated via the extended rule of mixture. The kinematic model is based on the first-order shear deformation theory with six degrees-of-freedom. To obtain the bending responses of the present model, 2D finite element approximation is adopted using eight-noded quadrilateral elements in ANSYS parametric design language platform. The validation test is carried out to demonstrate the accuracy of the present perforated model by comparing the preset results with the previously reported results. Finally, a variety of numerical illustrations are executed to demonstrate the effects of various geometrical and material parameters on the deformation behavior of the functionally graded carbon nanotube–reinforced composite perforated panel.
