A study of cracked nano composite plates under mechanical buckling load

In this work, buckling behavior of nanocomposite plates with crack has investigated numerically under different types of buckling loads has been investigated numerically. Unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) matrix reinforced with fiberglass was fabricated incorporating (TiO2) and (SiO2) nanoparticles as fillers. (SiO2) and (TiO2) weight percentage used as 3% for. Finite element (FE) coded utilizing ANSYS 15 is used to work out the numerical model. A lot of design parameters had been varied for studying their influences on the buckling characteristics. The most important part of present work is the part which including the effect of crack parameters on the performance of buckling such as type of load, crack angle, position, and crack face direction.
