THE CENTRAL QUESTION

How do small-scale mechanics and electrical or thermal coupling change structural stability and vibration?

Research approach

Enriched continuum models examine graphene-reinforced microplates and cylindrical microshells, including nonlocal, strain-gradient, and couple-stress effects. Companion studies explore piezoelectric layers and coupled electrical, thermal, and mechanical loading.

Research perspective

The four papers connect small structural dimensions with material reinforcement and coupled fields. Each also appears in the broader composite-mechanics bibliography.
