Effect of General Thermal Boundary Conditions on the Dynamic and Buckling of Polymeric Hybrid Nanocomposite Beam with Variable Thickness

This paper deals with the effect of general thermal boundary conditions on the dynamic and buckling of polymeric hybrid nanocomposite beam. The Timoshenko beam with variable thickness is made of a polymer matrix reinforced with a combination of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and nanoclay (NC) particles. The thermal and mechanical properties of the hybrid nanocomposite beam are obtained by Halpin–Tsai micromechanical method. The governing equations are...
