AbstractParametric vibrations of the single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) are studied in the presented work. The equations of motion govern geometrically nonlinear oscillations. The appearance of small effects is analysed due to the application of the nonlocal elasticity theory. The approach is developed for rectangular simply supported small-scale plate and it employs the Bubnov–Galerkin method with a double mode model, which reduces the problem to investigation of the system of the second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The dynamic behaviour of the micro/nanoplate with varying excitation parameter is analysed to determine the chaotic regimes. As well the influence of small-scale effects to change the nature of vibrations is studied. The bifurcation diagrams, phase plots, Poincaré sections and the largest Lyapunov exponent are constructed and analysed. It is established that the use of nonlocal equations in the dynamic analysis of graphene sheets leads to a significant alteration in the character of oscillations, including the appearance of chaotic attractors.

The present study investigates the dynamical behavior of lattice plates, including both bending and shear interactions. The exact natural frequencies of this lattice plate are calculated for simply supported boundary conditions. These exact solutions are compared with some continuous nonlocal plate solutions that account for some scale effects due to the lattice spacing. Two continualized and one phenomenological nonlocal UflyandMindlin plate models that take into account both the rotary inertia and the shear effects are developed for capturing the small length scale effect of microstructured (or lattice) thick plates by associating the small length scale coefficient introduced in the nonlocal approach to some length scale coefficients given in a Taylor or a rational series expansion. The nonlocal phenomenological model constitutes the stress gradient Eringen’s model applied at the plate scale. The continualization process constructs continuous equation from the one of the discrete lattice models. The governing partial differential equations are solved in displacement for each nonlocal plate model. An exact analytical vibration solution is obtained for the natural frequencies of the simply supported rectangular nonlocal plate. As expected, it is found that the continualized models lead to a constant small length scale coefficient, whereas for the phenomenological nonlocal approaches, the coefficient, calibrated with respect to the element size of the microstructured plate, is structure-dependent. Moreover, comparing the natural frequencies of the continuous models with the exact discrete one, it is concluded that the continualized models provide much more accurate results than the nonlocal Uflyand–Mindlin plate models.

In this article, the analyses of free vibration of nanoplates, such as single-layered graphene sheets (SLGS), lying on an elastic medium is evaluated and analyzed via a novel refined plate theory mathematical model including small-scale effects. The noteworthy feature of theory is that the displacement field is modelled with only four unknowns, which is even less than the other shear deformation theories. The present one has a new displacement field which introduces undetermined integral variables, the shear stress free condition on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate is respected and consequently, it is unnecessary to use shear correction factors. The theory involves four unknown variables, as against five in case of other higher order theories and first-order shear deformation theory. By using Hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing equations are obtained and they are solved via Navier solution method. The influences played by transversal shear deformation, plate aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, nonlocal parameter, and elastic foundation parameters are all examined. From this work, it can be observed that the small-scale effects and elastic foundation parameters are significant for the natural frequency.

The band structures of flexural waves in a ternary locally resonant phononic crystal thin plate are studied using the improved plane wave expansion method. And the thin concrete plate composed of a square array of steel cylinders hemmed around by rubber is considered here. Absolute band gaps of flexural vibration with low frequency are shown. The calculation results show that the band gap width is strongly dependent on the filling fraction, the radius ratio, the mass density and the Young’s modulus contrasts between the core and the coating. So by changing these physical parameters, the required band gap could be obtained.

Modified Couple Stress

This paper is concerned with the flexural vibration of an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever. The cantilever problem is formulated on the basis of the modified couple stress theory and the Timoshenko beam theory. The modified couple stress theory is a nonclassical continuum theory that includes one additional material parameter to describe the size effect. By using the Hamilton's principle, the governing equation of motion and the boundary conditions are derived for the AFM cantilevers. The equation is solved using the differential quadrature method for the natural frequencies and mode shapes. The effects of the sample surface contact stiffness, length scale parameter and location of the sensor tip on the flexural vibration characteristics of AFM cantilevers are discussed. Results show that the size effect on the frequency is significant when the thickness of the microcantilever has a similar value to the material length scale parameter.
