Frequency Responses of a Graphene Oxide Reinforced Concrete Structure

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation on the vibrations of reinforced concrete structure by graphene oxide powders (GOPs) using a polynomial displacement field and the Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM). The study focuses on analyzing the dynamic behavior of the structure and assessing the effects of three different distribution patterns of GOPs on its vibrations. To accurately model the deformation of the pressure vessel, a polynomial displacement field is employed, taking into account the complex geometrical and material properties of the structure. The results highlight the significant influence of the distribution pattern of GOPs on the natural frequencies of the spherical concrete pressure vessel. The analysis reveals that variations in the weight fraction and arrangement of GOPs have a direct impact on the stiffness and dynamic characteristics of the structure. Specifically, increasing the weight fraction of GOPs generally leads to higher natural frequencies, indicating enhanced structural rigidity. Moreover, the polynomial displacement field and GDQM demonstrate their effectiveness in accurately predicting the vibrations of the reinforced pressure vessel. The combination of these numerical techniques enables efficient and reliable analysis of the dynamic response, allowing for optimization of the design and performance of spherical concrete pressure vessels.
