Abstract:In this research, an elastic model based on the continuum mechanics is developed to study the static behaviors of functionally graded (FG) arbitrary straight-sided quadrilateral nanoplates. The model is constructed in the framework of Gurtin-Murdoch’s surface and Mindlin’s plate theories to account for the surface energy and shear deformation effects, simultaneously. The variational differential quadrature (VDQ) method is used along with a mapping technique to do the discretization process in a variational fra… Show more
