Nonlinear post-buckling and vibration of 2D penta-graphene composite plates

The newly developed penta-graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope with promising mechanical properties. This paper investigates the nonlinear post-buckling and vibration of imperfect three-dimensional penta-graphene composite plates resting on elastic foundations and subjected to uniform external pressure and axial compressive load. The elastic constants of the single-layer penta-graphene are fully determined by the density...
