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.

This paper is concerned with the postbuckling problem of cantilevered nano rods/tubes under an end concentrated load. Eringen's nonlocal beam theory is used to account for the small length scale effect. The governing equation is derived from statical and geometrical considerations and Eringen's nonlocal constitutive relation. The nonlinear differential equation is solved using the shooting method for the postbuckling load and the buckled shape. By comparing with the classical postbuckling solutions, the sensitivity of the small length scale effect on the buckling load and buckled shape may be observed. It is found that the small length scale effect decreases the postbuckling load and increases the deflection of the rod.
