In recent years, mechanical characteristics including vibration, bending, buckling and
postbuckling, stability and instability, etc. of small-scaled structures (such as …

In the present paper, higher-order shear deformation theory is utilized to study the buckling
behavior of annular graphene sheets in the thermal environment. The novelty of the present …

The prime target of the present study is to inspect the role of surface elasticity at nanoscale
in changing the stability branches as well as lower and upper limit loads of uniformly …

In this paper, a semi-analytical higher-order finite strip method is developed based on the
nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) for buckling analysis of orthotropic nanoplates. NSGT …

This paper presents the static and mechanical buckling analyses of thick functionally graded
(FG) plates. For this purpose, Carrera's unified formulation (CUF) and the principle of virtual …

This paper presents the buckling analysis of rectangular sandwich plates with pure
polymeric tapered cores and functionally graded carbon nanotube (FG-CNT) reinforced …

It is well known that damages affect the dynamic characteristics of the structures in such a
way that they may lead those structures to fail. Therefore, it is essential to construct a reliable …

In this paper, the size-dependent analysis of geometrically imperfect porous functionally
graded (FG) nanoplates is studied by an isogeometric approach based on a new refined …

This paper develops a size-dependent Kirchhoff plate model for bending and free vibration
analyses using a semi-analytical higher-order finite strip method (H-FSM) based on the …

In the current research, the dynamic behavior of the spherical nanoshell subjected to a
moving harmonic load in hygro-thermo environment is examined for the first time. A size …
