Abstract
AbstractIn the present study, the dynamic behavior of rotating carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite tapered plates reinforced with graphene nanoparticles has been investigated using a finite element (FE) formulation. The mechanical properties of CFRP laminates containing 0–0.5 wt% graphene nanoparticles were assessed using ASTM standard tests. The experimental dynamic analysis was conducted on CFRP and graphene reinforced CFRP composites under cantilever end conditions. The first‐order shear deformation theory (FSDT)‐based FE model was developed using MATLAB software to obtain the natural frequencies of the graphene reinforced CFRP plates. The validity of the FE results is compared with literature, and it shows excellent agreement for composite structures. Furthermore, parametric analysis is performed to explore the influence of wt% of graphene, rotating speed, setting angle, and ply thickness on the dynamic responses of graphene reinforced CFRP tapered plates.Highlights Effects of graphene reinforcement in CFRP composites are investigated. The mechanical characteristics were evaluated using ASTM standards. FSDT is employed to model the rotating tapered graphene‐CFRP plates. Vibration behavior of graphene‐CFRP composites is studied experimentally. Effects of various factors on the vibrations of the CFRP plates are studied.
