In this paper, on the basis of a new strain gradient elasticity theory, wave propagation in rectangular nanoplates by considering in-plane magnetic field is studied. This strain gradient theory has two gradient parameters and has the ability to compare with the nonlocal elasticity theory. From the best knowledge of author, it is the first time that this theory is used for investigating wave pro...

In this paper we will review and extend the results of [21], which covered the case of 3D thermo-piezoelectric polycrystals. In that context the settings of conductivity, elasticity, pyroelectricity, piezoelectricity, thermo-electricity and thermo-elasticity can be viewed as particular cases. We will consider a class of composites more general than polycrystals, where the set of allowable mater...
