To improve the structural stiffness, strength and reduce weight of nanoplate structure, functionally graded (FG) graphene-reinforced nanocomposite (GRNC) laminated plates are exploited in this paper. The bending buckling behaviors FG-GRNC nanoplates investigated by using novel quasi-3D hyperbolic higher order shear deformation plate theory conjunction with modified continuum nonlocal strain gra...

A (linear) nonsingular solution for the edge dislocation in the translational gauge theory of defects is presented. The stress function method is used and a modified stress function is obtained. All field quantities are globally defined and the solution agrees with the classical solution for the edge dislocation in the far field. The components of the stress, strain, distortion and displacement...

SOLIDS THAT I:XHIUIT localization of deformation (in the form of shear bands) at sufficiently high levels of strain, are ftrcquently modeled by gradient type non-local constitutive laws. i.e. continuum theories that include higher order deformation gradients. These models incorporate a length scale for the localized deformation zone and are either postulated or justified from micromechanical co...

Abstract In this work, the state -space nonlocal strain gradient theory is used for vibration analysis of magneto thermo piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) nanobeam. An FGM constituent properties stated by using power law relations. The refined higher order beam and Hamilton’s principle have been to obtain motion equations. Besides, governing equations nanobeam are extracted devel...

By utilizing methods recently developed in the theory of fluid interfaces, we provide a new framework for considering the localization of deformation and illustrate it for the case of hyperelastic materials. The approach overcomes one of the major shortcomings in constitutive equations for solids admitting localization of deformation at finite strains, i.e. their inability to provide physically...
