Summary: In this study, the characteristics of propagated waves in a sandwich structure with a soft core and multi-hybrid nanocomposite face sheets were investigated. The study found that the sensitivity of the phase velocity of the sandwich panel to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and different face sheet patterns can decrease when the core of the panel is thicker. It was also observed that the effects of fiber angle and core to total thickness ratio on the phase velocity are independent of the wavenumber.

Phase transition and plastic deformation mechanisms induced by self-rotating grinding of GaN single crystals

Chen Li, Yinchuan Piao, Binbin Meng, Yuxiu Hu, Longqiu Li, Feihu Zhang

Summary: The study explores the deformation and removal mechanisms of gallium nitride (GaN) single crystals during ultra-precision machining. The experimental results show that abrasive size significantly affects the surface morphology and roughness, leading to a transition from brittle fracture-dominated surface to a plastic surface with reduced abrasive size. Through cross-sectional TEM method and MD simulation, it is found that plastic deformation in GaN crystals is caused by the formation of polycrystalline nanocrystals and defects, with an observable delamination phenomenon in the plastic deformation zone.

Hongwei Liu, ShiXin Shen, Khaled Oslub, Mostafa Habibi, Hamed Safarpour

Summary: This research investigates amplitude motion and frequency simulation of a thick annular microsystem with graphene nanoplatelets reinforcement using the modified couple stress theory (MCST).

Results show that under certain conditions, the influence of length scale parameter on the amplitude and frequency of the microsystem can be ignored, and increasing the thickness of the graphene nanoplatelets decreases this influence on frequency.
