Nonlocal Strain Gradient

A functionally graded Boltzmann hierarchical viscoelastic model with both stress- and strain-gradient nonlocalities is developed and implemented to extract results that are more precise than results of Eringen's nonlocal elasticity model. The available size-dependent vibration analyses of the nano/microplates have focused on the frequency analysis and even not the time-dependent transient vibration analyses. In the present research, the forced and transient responses of the microplates are studied comprehensively, for the first time, using a three-element standard solid viscoelastic model. The studied transversely symmetric graded viscoelastic microplate and the relevant function of the material properties variations contain notable hints as well. Furthermore, the resulting new sixth-order nonlocal strain gradient integrodifferential equations are solved by a special technique that includes an analytical spatial Navier series-type solution and a trapezoidal and Runge–Kutta integration schemes, in time domain. Finally, the influences of the stress- and strain-gradient nonlocality parameters and the viscoelasticity parameters on the dynamic behaviors of the viscoelastic FGM microplates are investigated in details. Results show that the effects of the strain gradient nonlocality on the viscodynamic results may be much remarkable than those of the length scale nonlocality, in microscales.

Nonlocal Strain Gradient

This article examines the application of nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory to wave dispersion behavior of a size-dependent functionally graded nanoplate in thermal environments. The theory contains two scale parameters corresponding to nonlocal and strain gradient effects. A quasi-3D plate theory considering shear and normal deformations is employed to present the formulation. Mori–Tanaka micromechanical model is used to describe functionally graded material properties. Hamilton’s principle is employed to obtain the governing equations of nanoplate accounting for thickness stretching effect. These equations are solved analytically to find wave frequencies and phase velocities of functionally graded nanoplate. It is indicated that wave dispersion behavior of functionally graded nanoplates is significantly affected by temperature rise, nonlocality, length scale parameter, and material composition.

Nonlocal Strain Gradient

In this paper, size-dependent free vibration analysis of curved functionally graded nanobeams embedded in Winkler–Pasternak elastic medium is carried out via an analytical solution method. Three kinds of boundary condition namely, simply supported-simply supported, simply supported-clamped and clamped-clamped are investigated. Material properties of curved functionally graded beam change in thickness direction according to the Mori–Tanaka model. Nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory is adopted to capture the size effects in which the stress is considered for not only the nonlocal stress field but also the strain gradients stress field. Nonlocal governing equations of curved functionally graded nanobeam are obtained from Hamilton’s principle based on Euler–Bernoulli beam model. Finally, the influences of length scale parameter, nonlocal parameter, opening angle, elastic medium, material composition, slenderness ratio and boundary conditions on the vibrational characteristics of nanosize curved functionally graded beams are explored.
