What is it about?
This paper studies the free vibration and harmonic response of Functionally Graded Graphene/Epoxy composite plates, considering the First Order Shear Deformation Plate Theory. The weight fraction of graphene variation along the thickness direction with graphene homogeneous dispersed in a polymer matrix. The effective Young Modulus of the plate is predicted by a new micro-mechanical model.

Why is it important?
The results demonstrate the BEM formulation and micromechanical model can be used as reliable engineering tools for the vibrational analysis of functionally grade graphene composite plates.
Perspectives
This method can be extrapolated to composites with different graphene weight fractions, polymers, and multicomponent fillers.
