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.

This paper develops a nonlocal strain gradient plate model for vibration analysis of double-layered graded nanoplates under linearly variable in-plane mechanical loads in hygro-thermal environments. For more accurate analysis of nanoplates, the proposed theory contains two scale parameters related to the nonlocal and strain gradient effects. The double-layered nanoplate is modeled via a four-variable shear deformation plate theory needless of shear correction factors. Governing equations of a nonlocal strain gradient nanoplate on elastic substrate are derived via Hamilton’s principle. Galerkin’s method is implemented to solve the governing equations. Effects of different factors such as in-plane loading, load factor, nonlocal parameter, length scale parameter, moisture percentage rise, temperature rise, elastic foundation, and boundary conditions on vibration characteristics of a double-layered nanoplate have been examined.

This paper develops a nonlocal strain gradient plate model for vibration analysis of the graphene sheets under in-plane magnetic field and hygro-thermal environments. For more accurate analysis of the graphene sheets, the proposed theory contains two-scale parameters related to the nonlocal and strain gradient effects. The graphene sheet is modeled via a two-variable shear deformation plate theory needless of shear correction factors. Governing equations of a nonlocal strain gradient graphene sheet on elastic substrate are derived via Hamilton’s principle. Galerkin’s method is implemented to solve the governing equations for different boundary conditions. Effects of different factors such as moisture concentration rise, temperature rise, nonlocal parameter, length scale parameter, elastic foundation, and magnetic field on vibration characteristics of the graphene sheets are examined.
