Size dependent effect on deflection and buckling analyses of porous nanocomposite plate based on nonlocal strain gradient theory
Pegah Khazaei and Mehdi Mohammadimehr
Abstract
In this paper, the deflection and buckling analyses of porous nano-composite piezoelectric plate reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) are studied. The equations of equilibrium using energy method are derived from principle of minimum total potential energy. In the research, the non-local strain gradient theory is employed to consider size dependent effect for porous nanocomposite piezoelectric plate. The effects of material length scale parameter, Eringen
