Nonlinear bending of shear deformable nanobeams subject to a temperature field is investigated in this paper based on von Kármán type nonlinearity and nonlocal elasticity theory. By using the variational principle approach, new higher-order governing differential equations and the corresponding higher-order boundary conditions both in the transverse and axial directions are derived and discusse...

In this paper, vibration analysis of rotary tapered axially functionally graded (AFG) Timoshenko nanobeam is investigated in a thermal environment based on nonlocal theory. The governing equations of motion and the related boundary conditions are derived by means of Hamilton’s principle based on the first order shear deformation theory of beams. The solution method is considered using generaliz...

This paper describes the application of refined plate theory to investigate free vibration and buckling analyses of functionally graded nanocomposite plates reinforced by aggregated carbon nanotube (CNT). The refined shear deformation plate theory (RSDT) uses four independent unknowns and accounts for a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness, satisfying the zer...

In this research, analysis of nonlocal magneto-electro-thermo-elastic of a functionally graded nanobeamdue to magneto-electro-elastic loads has been done. In order to formulate the problem the Timoshenko theory of beams is utilized. The principle of virtual work, Hamilton’s principle as well as nonlocal magneto-electro-thermo-elastic relations has been recruited to derive the governing eq...

In this paper, a refined plate theory is applied to investigate the free vibration analysis of functionally graded nanocomposite sandwich plates reinforced by randomly oriented straight carbon nanotube (CNT). The refined shear deformation plate theory (RSDT) uses only four independent unknowns and accounts for a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness, and satis...
