in this paper, free vibration of functionally graded rectangular simply supported thick plates based on two variable refined plate theory is presented. according to a power-law distribution, the mass density and elasticity modulus of the plate are considered to vary while poisson’s ratio is constant. in order to extract the five constitutive equations of motion, hamilton principle is employed. ...

The nanostructures under rotation have high promising future to be used in nano-machines, nano-motors and nano-turbines. They are also one of the topics of interests and it is new in designing of rotating nano-systems. In this paper, the scale-dependent vibration analysis of a nanoplate with consideration of the axial force due to the rotation has been investigated. The governing equation and b...

The governing equations of three dimensional elasticity problems include the six Beltrami-Michell stress compatibility equations, the three differential equations of equilibrium, and the six material constitutive relations; and these are usually solved subject to the boundary conditions. The system of fifteen differential equations is usually difficult to solve, and simplified methods are usual...
