Abstract

Design optimization of nanostructures is a new challenging research area. The modelling of multilayer graphene sheets has a similar character as the modelling of composite laminates. However, the traditional laminate plate theories are revised in order to incorporate nonlocal elasticity. The main aim of the current study is to point out the crotchet features arising in the design optimization of graphene laminates based on the theoretical analysis performed and numerical results obtained. The study is focused on the improvement of the mechanical performance of graphene and nanostructures, particularly vibration properties of multilayer graphene laminates.
