Abstract
The work researched the application of artificial intelligence to the design and analysis of advanced nanoplates, with
a particular emphasis on size and surface effects. Employing an integrated theoretical framework, this study developed a more
accurate model of complex nanoplate behavior. The following analysis considers nanoplates embedded in a Pasternak
viscoelastic fractional foundation and represents the important step in understanding how nanoscale structures may respond
under dynamic loads. Surface effects, significant for nanoscale, are included through the Gurtin-Murdoch theory in order to
better describe the influence of surface stresses on the overall behavior of nanoplates. In the present analysis, the modified
couple stress theory is utilized to capture the size-dependent behavior of nanoplates, while the Kelvin-Voigt model has been
incorporated to realistically simulate the structural damping and energy dissipation. This paper will take a holistic approach in
using sinusoidal shear deformation theory for the accurate replication of complex interactions within the nano-structure system.
Addressing different aspectsof the dynamic behavior by considering the length scale parameter of the material, this work aims at
establishing which one of the factors imposes the most influence on the nanostructure response. Besides, the surface stresses that
become increasingly critical in nanoscale dimensions are considered in depth. AI algorithms subsequently improve the
prediction of the mechanical response by incorporating other phenomena, including surface energy, material inhomogeneity, and
size-dependent properties. In these AI- enhanced solutions, the improvement of precision becomes considerable compared to the
classical solution methods and hence offers new insights into the mechanical performance of nanoplates when applied in
nanotechnology and materials science.
