this paper is concerned with the surface and small scale effects on transverse vibration of a viscoelastic single-layered graphene sheet (slgs) subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. the slgs is surrounded by an elastic medium which is simulated as visco-pasternak foundation. in order to investigate the small scale effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is employed due to its simplicity and ...

Maintenance management is one of the main focuses in industrial sector. Many maintenance functions with varieties optimization models have been proposed to aid maintenance management. However, there are limited models have been implemented in small and medium industries (SMIs). The data problems and the gap between theory and practice have always become a reason.
