Electromagnetic forced vibrations of composite nanoplates using nonlocal strain gradient theory.

This article is intended to analyze forced vibrations of a piezoelectric-piezomagnetic ceramic nanoplate by a new refined shear deformation plate theory in conjunction with higher-order nonlocal strain gradient theory. As both stress nonlocality and strain gradient size-dependent effects are taken into account using the higher-order nonlocal strain gradient theory, the governing equations of the composite nanoplate are formulated. When the nanoplate is subjected to a transverse harmonic loading and all the edges are considered as simple boundaries, the governing equations can be solved with a closed-form solution, from which the maximum dynamic deflections are obtained. To validate the results of the new proposed plate theory, the comparisons between ours and the well-known papers in the literature are presented. The influences of different nonlocal parameters and material properties on the nanoplate's dynamic responses are also studied.
