Abstract
Improving the mechanical properties of concrete in the construction industry in order to increase resistance to
dynamic and static loads is one of the essential topics for researchers. In this work, vibration analysis of elastic nanocomposite
beams reinforced by nanoparticles based on mathematical model is presented. For modelling of the strucuture, sinusoidal shear
deformation beam theory (SSDBT) is utilized. Mori-anak model model is utilized for obtaining the effective properties of the
strucuture including agglomeration influences. Utilizing the energy method and Hamilton'sprincipal, the motion equations are
calculated. The frequency of the elastic nanocomposite beam is obtanied by analytical method. The aim of this work is
investigating the effects of nanoparticles volume percent and agglomeration, length and thickness of the beam on the frequency
of the structure. The results show that the with enhancing the nanoparticles volume percent, the frequency is increased. In
addition, the water absorption of the concrete is presented in this article.
