Abstract
This work presents the results of the dynamic behavior and natural frequencies of laminated polymer plates that are reinforced by carbon nanotubes. The laminated nanocomposite plates have two components: carbon nanotubes reinforced in different polymer matrices. The nonlinear equations are obtained by Reddy's third-order laminated plate theory with von Kármán's geometrical nonlinearity and solved by both Runge–Kutta and Galerkin methods. Detailed studies for the influences of carbon nanotubes' different types of reinforcements and weight fractions, geometrical parameters, Winkler and Pasternak foundations on the deflection–time curves, and natural frequencies of laminated functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite plates are examined.
