The document presents a presentation on the analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite cylindrical panels. The presentation includes an introduction to composite materials and functionally graded materials. It discusses the need to study bending and vibration characteristics of such panels. The objectives are to fabricate panels using centrifugal casting, model the panels in ANSYS to estimate material properties, and explore bending and vibration characteristics through experiments and simulations considering parameters like carbon nanotube weight percentage, aspect ratio, edge-to-thickness ratio, and boundary conditions. The methodology discusses the materials used, panel fabrication process, experimental setup for vibration testing, and modeling in ANSYS software. Preliminary results from simulations and experiments are also presented.

Composite material:
Material system which consist of a mixture or a combination of two or more distinctly
differing material which are not soluble in each other and differ in or chemical
composition, or it consist of two or more phases on a microscopic scale and the
properties of composite material are designed to be superior to those of the constituent
material considered independently.

5. Functionally Graded Composite Materials:
Functionally graded composite materials (FGCMs) are inhomogeneous
materials, consisting of two (or more) different materials, engineered to have
a continuously varying spatial composition profile , or (FGMs) are
multifunctional materials, which contain a spatial variation in composition
and/or microstructure for the specific purpose of controlling variations in
thermal, structural or functional properties.

6. NEED OF STUDY
The aircraft, automobile and marine curved structural components such as curved
panels, open shells, conical shells and circular cylindrical shells structures are
predominantly subjected to dynamic forces, which may lead to bending or
resonance failure specifically in light weight structures made of matrix composites.
Therefore, the bending and free vibration analysis of composite elements is very
important field of research to predict the flexural strength and natural frequency,
both analytically and experimentally to avoid sudden failure.
CNT Composite polymer
Recently carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted huge attention in many research
areas of science and engineering because of their high specific strength, stiffness at
very low density.

12. OBJECTIVES OF WORK
To the best of our knowledge currently there is no existing literature that
provides both numerical and experimental analyses of the free
vibration and bending characteristics of FG-MWCNTs cylindrical
panels, encompassing both material characterization and structural
modeling. To fill up the lacunae of existing literature, the aim of current study
is to:
1. Fabrication of Panel by centrifugal Casting method.
2. Design panel in ANSYS software and estimate material properties of
different layer by a micromechanical model.
3. Explore the bending and free vibration characteristics of the FG-
MWCNTs cylindrical panel through experimentations and numerical
method considering the different parameters like weight percentage of
CNT, aspect ratio, edge to thickness ratio and boundary conditions.
4. Establish the accuracy of present experimental and numerical solution by
comparison studies with published literature.

14. Carbon nanotube: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylinder-shaped allotropic forms of
carbon, most widely produced under chemical vapor deposition. They possess astounding
chemical, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties in nanotechnology.
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs): SWCNTs one of the allotropes of carbon,
intermediate between fullerene cages and flat graphene, with diameters in the range of a
nanometer. SWCNTs are known for high strength but high production cost and chemical
instability.
Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs): consisting of nested single-wall carbon
nanotubes weakly bound together by van der Waals interactions in a tree ring-like structure.
MWCNTs are chemically stable and owing to low production cost, largely used in scientific
research works and industries.

Free vibration test for determination of natural frequency
The vibration tests are performed using FFT Analyzer (DAQ , OROS), modal impact
hammer and accelerometer. The specimen were excited with the help of modal impact hammer
and subsequent vibration is received by the accelerometer (B&K 4507). The signals are supplied
to the FFT Analyzer and frequency spectrums were obtained with the help of PULSE software.
Both frequency response function (FRF) and auto spectrum (amplitude-frequency) spectrum are
observed along with coherence plots.

Simulation Model OF ANSYS
The ANSYS software has been utilized to model a panel with an inner
diameter of 100mm and height of 100mm, consisting of 5 distinct cylindrical
strips, each with a thickness of 0.5mm.
These strips have been modeled separately, but with perfect matching
achieved through the application of tie constraints within the ANSYS
software.
In order to ensure accurate simulation of the panel's behavior, a suitable
material comprising MWCNT, epoxy (Lapox L-12), and hardener (K-6) has
been selected and identified as solid 186 element type.

ANALYSIS OF FG MWCNTCs PANEL 44
The bending and vibration of FG-CNTRC cylindrical panels under mechanical loading
involves examining the effects of various factors on the material's performance. The
following factors are considered in the analysis:-
Volume fraction of carbon nanotubes: The higher the volume fraction of CNTs, the
greater the material's flexural strength and vibration characteristic.
Edge-to-radius ratio: Panels with a larger edge-to-radius ratio tend to exhibit higher
bending and lower natural frequency.
Thickness: Thicker panels tend to be the greater the material's flexural strength and
vibration characteristic than thinner ones.
Boundary conditions: Panels with simply supported four edges exhibit higher bending
and lower natural frequency while vice versa with four clamped edges.
Distribution types of CNTs: The cylindrical panels of the FG-Δ variety exhibited the
lowest frequency parameters and the greatest central deflection, while the FG-X type
panels had the highest frequency parameters and the least central deflection.
