Thermal buckling of FGM nanoplates subjected to linear and nonlinear varying loads on Pasternak foundation

Farzad Ebrahimi, Javad Ehyaei and Ramin Babaei

Abstract

Thermo-mechanical buckling problem of functionally graded (FG) nanoplates supported by Pasternak elastic foundation subjected to linearly/non-linearly varying loadings is analyzed via the nonlocal elasticity theory. Two opposite edges of the nanoplate are subjected to the linear and nonlinear varying normal stresses. Elastic properties of nanoplate change in spatial coordinate based on a powerlaw form. Eringen
