Buckling of Functionally Graded Multilayer Graphene Nanocomposites

该项目旨在促进由石墨烯纳米复合材料制成的新型轻质结构构件的开发，该构件具有显著增强的抗突然或渐进屈曲失效的能力。在过大的压缩载荷作用下，结构的突然或渐进屈曲破坏是工程结构中常见的并且常常是灾难性的问题。该项目旨在开发一种功能梯度多层石墨烯纳米复合材料结构，并对其屈曲和后屈曲行为进行理论、数值和实验研究，同时考虑初始缺陷的影响。该项目旨在提高轻质纳米复合材料结构的机械性能的知识基础，提高结构可靠性。

This project aims to contribute to the development of novel lightweight structural members made of graphene nanocomposites with greatly enhanced resistance to abrupt or progressive buckling failure. Abrupt or progressive buckling failure under excessive compressive loads is a common and often catastrophic problem in engineering structures. The project intends to develop a functionally graded multilayer graphene nanocomposite structure and to conduct a combined theoretical, numerical and experimental investigation into its buckling and postbuckling behaviours, taking into account the effect of initial imperfection. The project aims to advance the knowledge base of the mechanical behaviour of lightweight nanocomposite structures with improved structural reliability.
