In this paper a new Kirchhoff plate model is developed for the static analysis of isotropic
micro-plates with arbitrary shape based on a modified couple stress theory containing only …

In this paper, we present for the first time a size-dependent model based on the modified
couple stress theory (MCST) and isogeometric analysis (IGA) for the static and free vibration …

In this article, a refined modified couple stress theory based on isogeomeric analysis to
capture the small-scale effect on laminated composite micro-plates is developed for the first …

Since the classical continuum theory is neither able to evaluate the accurate stiffness nor
able to justify the size-dependency of micro-scale structures, the non-classical continuum …

The main objective of this paper is to explore the linear and nonlinear responses of porous
metal foam micro-plate using a modified couple stress theory coupled with isogeometric …

A new modified couple stress theory for anisotropic elasticity is proposed. This theory
contains three material length scale parameters. Differing from the modified couple stress …

The size effect on orthotropic Kirchhoff-type skew micro-plates is investigated based on a
modified couple stress theory. For a three-dimensional orthotropic body, three additional …

The aim of this paper is to numerically investigate the geometrically nonlinear primary
resonance of third-order shear deformable functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced …

In this study, a non-confirming element which is a combination of the BCIZ and refined
triangular non-conforming element is developed for the free vibration analysis of micro-scale …

The classical continuum theory not only underestimates the stiffness of microscale structures
such as microbeams but is also unable to capture the size dependency, a phenomenon …
