Vibrations of single-layered graphene sheets subjected to a longitudinal magnetic field are considered. The Winkler-type and Pasternak-type foundation models are employed to reproduce the surrounding elastic medium. The governing equation is based on the modified couple stress theory and Kirchhoff–Love hypotheses. The effect of the magnetic field is taken into account due to the Lorentz force deriving from Maxwell’s equations. The developed approach is based on applying the Ritz method. The proposed method is tested by a comparison with results from the existing literature. The numerical calculations are performed for different boundary conditions, including the mixed ones. The influence of the material length scale parameter, the elastic foundation parameters, the magnetic parameter and the boundary conditions on vibration frequencies is studied. It is observed that an increase of the magnetic parameter, as well as the elastic foundation parameters, brings results closer to the classical plate theory results. Furthermore, the current study can be applied to the design of microplates and nanoplates and their optimal usage.

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 buckling analyses of type-II superconducting strip under applied perpendicular magnetic field and/or distributed uniform mechanical load are investigated in this paper. Based on the Bean critical state model, the electromagnetic body force is firstly given. Then, based on the classical plate theory and two-point initial value method, the critical buckling states of the superconducting strip with different boundary conditions are analyzed. Numerical results show the effects of both the thickness and boundary conditions of superconducting strip on the corresponding critical buckling loads. The present work should be helpful to the research and application of superconducting thin strips.

Forced axisymmetric response of polar orthotropic circular plates of linearly varying thickness resting on Winkler type of elastic foundation has been studied on the basis of classical plate theory. An approximate solution of problem has been obtained by Rayleigh Ritz method, which employs functions based upon the static deflection of polar orthotropic circular plates. The effect of transverse loadings has been studied for orthotropic circular plate resting on elastic foundation. The transverse deflections and bending moments are presented for various values of taper parameter, rigidity ratio, foundation parameter, and flexibility parameter under different types of loadings.

The length-scale free vibration analysis of a rectangular microplate coupled with piezoelectric layers is presented. The modified couple stress theory is used to describe the size effect of the system. The governing equations of motion are obtained using Hamilton’s principle based on the classical plate theory. The transverse part of the electric potential for the piezoelectric layers is considered to satisfy the Maxwell’s equation and the electrical boundary conditions. A new procedure is introduced to decouple the governing equations and then an analytical Levy-type solution is obtained. The exact natural frequencies are established for a wide range of length scales, various plate dimensions, several piezoelectric layer thicknesses, and different boundary conditions. The results show that the effect of length scale parameter is decreased by the piezoelectric electrical field.

Modified Couple Stress

The free vibration of single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) has been studied by nonlocal modified couple stress theory (NMCS), analytically. Governing equation of motion for SLGS is obtained via thin plate theory in conjunction with Hamilton’s principle for two cases: (1) using nonlocal parameter only for stress tensor, (2) using nonlocal parameter for both stress and couple stress tensors. Navier’s approach has been used to solve the governing equations for simply supported boundary conditions. It is found that the frequency ratios decrease with increasing nonlocal parameter and also with enhancing vibration modes, but increase with raising length scale parameter. The nonlocal and length scale parameters are more prominent in higher vibration modes. The obtained results have been compared with the previous studies obtained by using classical plate theory, the modified couple stress theory and nonlocal elasticity theory, separately.

ABSTRACTA non-classical analytical model for vibration analysis of thin isotropic and FGM plate containing multiple part-through cracks (star shaped) of arbitrary orientation is proposed. A plate containing four concentric cracks of arbitrary orientation in the form of continuous line is considered for analysis. The proposed governing equation is derived based on classical plate theory and modified couple stress theory. Line spring model is modified to accommodate all the crack terms. The application of Berger’s formulation introduces nonlinearities in the governing equation and then the Galerkin’s method is applied for solving final governing equation. Results for fundamental frequencies for different values of crack length, crack orientation, gradient index and material length scale parameters are presented for two different boundary conditions. Furthermore, to study the phenomenon of bending hardening/softening in a cracked plate, the frequency response curves are plotted for the parameters stated above. Based on the outcomes of this study, it can be concluded that stiffness of the plate is severely affected by the presence of multiple cracks and the stiffness goes on decreasing with increase in number of cracks thereby affecting the fundamental frequency.

Simulation Results

Given the unique and extremely valuable properties, research has significantly focussed on graphene sheets (GSs). To premeditate the small-scale effect, the present work applies the nonlocal theory to study the buckling behavior of a double-layered GS (DLGS) embedded in an elastic foundation. To derive the equation, classical plate theory is adopted. For the elastic foundation, Pasternak-type model is used. In terms of buckling response, a meshless method is utilized to compute simulation results. Accordingly, we examine the effects of aspect ratio, geometry, boundary conditions and nonlocal parameters on the buckling responses of DLGSs.

Axial Forces

This study investigates the small-scale effect on the flapwise bending vibrations of a rotating nanoplate that can be the basis of nano-turbine design. The nanoplate is modeled as classical plate theory (CPT) with boundary conditions as the cantilever and propped cantilever. The axial forces are also included in the model as the true spatial variation due to the rotation. Hamilton’s principle is used to derive the governing equation and boundary conditions for the classic plate based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory and the differential quadrature method is employed to solve the governing equations. The effect of the small-scale parameter, nondimensional angular velocity, nondimensional hub radius, setting angle and different boundary conditions in the first four nondimensional frequencies is discussed. Due to considering rotating effects, results of this study are applicable in nanomachines such as nanomotors and nano-turbines and other nanostructures.

Microstructural Effect

Approximate numerical solutions are obtained for the vibration response of a functionally graded (FG) micro-scale beam entrapped within an axially-directed magnetic field using the differential transformation method (DTM). Idealized as a one-dimensional (1D) continuum with a noticeable microstructural effect and a thickness-directed material gradient, the microbeam’s behavior is studied under a range of nonclassical boundary conditions. The immanent microstructural effect of the micro-scale beam is accounted for through the modified couple stress theory (MCST), while the microscopic inhomogeneity is smoothened with the classical rule of mixture. The study demonstrates the robustness and flexibility of the DTM in providing benchmark results pertaining to the free vibration behavior of the FG microbeams under the following boundary conditions: (a) Clamped-tip mass; (b) clamped-elastic support (transverse spring); (c) pinned-elastic support (transverse spring); (d) clamped-tip mass-elastic support (transverse spring); (e) clamped-elastically supported (rotational and transverse springs); and (f) fully elastically restrained (transverse and rotational springs on both boundaries). The analyses revealed the possibility of using functional gradation to adjust the shrinking of the resonant frequency to zero (rigid-body motion) as the mass ratio tends to infinity. The magnetic field is noted to have a negligibly minimal influence when the gradient index is lower, but a notably dominant effect when it is higher.
