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.
