Abstract

The bending and dynamic buckling analysis of graphene reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite plates was investigated in this study. The CFRP composites were fabricated using the hand layup method. The mechanical characteristics of CFRP composites with 0–1 wt% graphene reinforcement were evaluated using ASTM tests. The experimental dynamic analysis is carried out on graphene reinforced CFRP composites. A higher order finite element (FE) formulation is implemented to compute the characteristics of the CFRP plate using MATLAB software. The FE model's validity is compared to numerical data reported in the literature, and the results demonstrate excellent agreement. Furthermore, parametric analysis is performed to explore the influence of wt.% of graphene, aspect ratios, and end conditions on the bending and dynamic buckling properties of graphene reinforced with CFRP composite plates.
