A non-classical model for transversely isotropic magneto-electro-elastic circular Kirchhoff plates is established based on the extended modified couple stress theory. The Gibbs-type variational principle used to obtain governing equations and boundary conditions. To illustrate newly derived model, static bending problem of a clamped plate subjected uniformly distributed constant load solved num...

In this article, classical plate theory (CPT) is reformulated using the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen to develop an equivalent continuum model for orthotropic triangular nanoplates. The equations of motion are derived and the Galerkin’s approach in conjunction with the area coordinates is used as a basis for the solution. Nonlocal theories are employed to bring out the...

Bending analysis of FGM plates under uniform and sinusoidal loaded result in forth order partial differential equation. In this paper the analytical solution is based on the extended Kantorovich iterative procedure. The differential equations for the iterative procedure is derived using the Galerkin method. The solution was develope based on the classical plate’s theory (CLPT). The reliability ...

In the following paper, free vibration analysis of two directional FGM circular nano-plate on the elastic medium is investigated. The elastic modulus of plate varies in both radial and thickness directions. Eringen’s theory was employed to the analysis of circular nano-plate with variation in material properties. Simultaneous variations of the material properties in the radial and transverse di...

This paper is devoted to the buckling analysis of thin composite plates under straight single-walled carbon nanotubes reinforcement with uniform distribution and random orientations. In order to develop the fundamental equations, the B3-Spline finite strip method along with the classical plate theory (CPT) is employed and the total potential energy is minimized which leads to an eigenvalue prob...

In this paper, the first and second order approximations of Taylor expansion are used for calculating the change of each natural frequency by modifying an arbitrary parameter of a system with a known amount and based on this approximation, the inverse eigenvalue problem is transformed to a solvable algebraic equation. The finite element formulation, based on the classical laminated plate theory...

In this paper, axisymmetric free vibration analysis of a circular Nano-plate having variable thickness was studied. The variation in thickness of plate was considered as a linearly in radial direction. Nonlocal elasticity theory was utilized to take into account size-dependent effects. Ritz functions was utilized to obtain the frequency equations for simply supported and clamped boundary. To ve...

In the current study, the effects of interactions of the moving loads and the attached mass-spring-damper systems of the composite plates on the resulting dynamic responses are investigated comprehensively, for the first time, using the classical plate theory. The solution of the coupled governing system of equations is accomplished through tracing the spatial variations using a Navier-type sol...

In this paper, the active buckling control of smart functionally graded (FG) plates using piezoelectric sensor/actuator patches is studied. A simply supported FG rectangular plate which is bonded with piezoelectric rectangular patches on the top and/or the bottom surface(s) as actuators/sensors is considered. When a constant electric charge is imposed, the governing differential equations of mo...
