In this study, the buckling of functionally graded (FG) nanoporous metal foam nanoplates is investigated by combining the refined plate theory with the non-local elasticity theory. The refined plate theory takes into account transverse shear strains which vary quadratically through the thickness without considering the shear correction factor. Based on Eringen’s non-local differential constitutive relations, the equations of motion are derived from Hamilton’s principle. The analytical solutions for the buckling of FG nanoporous metal foam nanoplates are obtained via Navier’s method. Moreover, the effects of porosity distributions, porosity coefficient, small scale parameter, axial compression ratio, mode number, aspect ratio and length-to-thickness ratio on the buckling loads are discussed. In order to verify the validity of present analysis, the analytical results have been compared with other previous studies.

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.
