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.

Non-local time evolution of material stress/strain is often referred to as material hereditariness. In this paper, the widely used non-linear approach to single integral time non-local mechanics named quasi-linear approach is proposed in the context of fractional differential calculus. The non-linear model of the springpot is defined in terms of a single integral with separable kernel endowed with a non-linear transform of the state variable that allows for the use of Boltzmann superposition. The model represents a self-similar hierarchy that allows for a time-invariance as the result of the application of the conservation laws at any resolution scale. It is shown that the non-linear springpot possess an equivalent mechanical hierarchy in terms of a functionally-graded elastic column resting on viscous dashpots with power-law decay of the material properties. Some numerical applications are reported to show the capabilities of the proposed model.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have wide applications in different branches of engineering such as aerospace, mechanics, and biomechanics. Investigation of the mechanical behaviors of structures made of these materials has been performed widely using classical elasticity theories in micro/nano scale. In this research, static, dynamic and vibrational behaviors of functional micro and nanobeams were investigated using non-local theory. Governing linear equations of the problem were driven using non-local theory and solved using an analytical method for different boundary conditions. Effects of the axial load, the non-local parameter and the power index on the natural frequency of different boundary condition are assessed. Then, the obtained results were compared with those obtained from classical theory. These results showed that a non-local effect could greatly affect the behaviors of these beams, especially at nano scale.
