Predictions of the frequencies of bending-torsion coupled laminated composite plates with discontinuities: Novel analytical modeling and experimental validation

Shaat, M.; Aidi, B.; Case, S.W.; Abdelkefi, A. (Elsevier, 2017-11)

A novel analytical model that accurately represents the free vibration response of intact/damaged composite plates accounting for the bending-torsional coupling is developed. Unlike the existing models for the bending-torsion ...
Pull-in instability of multi-phase nanocrystalline silicon beams under distributed electrostatic force

Shaat, M.; Abdelkefi, A. (Pergamon, 2015-05)

The effects of the material structure on the pull-in instability of nano-actuated beams made of nanocrystalline silicon (Nc–Si) and subjected to a distributed electrostatic force are investigated. Nc–Si is represented ...
