Free Vibration Analysis of Nanocomposite (Epoxy/ Nano Clay) Beams

This paper studies free vibration of simply supported Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposite beams based on the first order shear deformation theory. The Young's modulus of beam is assumed based on Mori–Tanaka mean stress theory. The governing equation is established. Resulting equation is solved using the Euler's Equation. The effects of the of dimensionless geometrical parameter and nano particles volume fractions on the vibration frequency are presented. To investigate the accuracy of the present analysis, a compression study is carried out with the experimental data.
