Vibration and Buckling Characteristics of Functionally Graded Graphene Nanoplatelets Reinforced Composite Beams with Open Edge Cracks

This paper investigates the free vibration and compressive buckling characteristics of functionally graded graphene nanoplatelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) beams containing open edge cracks by using the finite element method. The beam is a multilayer structure where the weight fraction of grap...
