Abstract

This paper deals with the vibration, buckling and bending analyses of annular nanoplate integrated with piezoelectric layers at the top and bottom surfaces. The higher order nonlocal theory for size effect and Gurtin–Murdochtheory for surface effects are utilized. The governing equations are derived based on the layer-wise (LW) theory and Hamilton’s principle. The differential cubature method (DCM) as a new numerical procedure is utilized to solve the motion equations for obtaining the frequency, buckling load and deflection. The influences of various parameters such as external voltage, boundary condition, surface stresses, nonlocal parameter, outer to inner radius ratio and core to top layer thickness ratio were shown on the vibration, buckling and bending responses of the nanostructure. The results of vibration, buckling and bending are validated with other published works. The outcomes show that the surface stresses have a significant effect on the increases of the frequency and buckling load and decrease of the deflection.

Introduction

Nanoplate is a two-dimensional structure which has good thermal, mechanical and optical characteristics. These nanostructures can be used in optical devises, nanocomposites, energy store and nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS). In addition, in nano size, the surface to volume ratio is large and consequently, the surface effects should be considered. Due to exterior application of nanoplates, the smart layers can be used as sensor and actuator for them. Hence, this study deals with the mechanical analysis of nanoplate with smart layers assuming surface effects.

The study of nanostructures is presented by researches in the recent decades. A novel beam model and modified couple stress theory were utilized by Al-Basyouni et al. [1] to investigate dynamic and bending responses of functionally graded nanobeams. Utilizing visco-nonlocal-piezo-elasticity theory, Kolahchi et al. [2] presented dynamic stability of smart nanoplates based on DC and Bolotin’s methods. Kolahchi [3] investigated vibration, buckling and bending of laminated nanoplates utilizing zigzag, sinusoidal, Mondlin and classical theories. Bouadi et al. [4] applied a new higher order nonlocal theory for buckling analysis of nanoplate utilizing exact solution. The buckling study of orthotropic embedded nanoplates utilizing a refined new plate theory was investigated by Yazid et al. [5] assuming nonlocal effects by Eringen theory. Hamza-Cherif et al. [6] analysed thermos-vibration response of nanobeams in elastic foundation utilizing a numerical solution. Utilizing higher order strain gradient nonlocal theory, Karami et al. [7], [8] studied wave propagation and buckling of nanoshells assuming various boundary condition. Guo et al. [9] studied 3D functionally graded nanoplate under the magnetic load utilizing analytical solution and couple stress theory. Kolahchi et al. [10] investigated postbuckling analysis in quadrilateral defective nanoplates subjected to thermos-magneto-hydro loads utilizing higher order plate theory.

The LW and higher order theories are utilized by researchers for achieving more accurate outcomes. Ferreira et al. [11] investigated vibration and bending of sandwich plates utilizing LW theory and numerical method for solution. A new higher trigonometric order theory was utilized by Bousahla et al. [12] for static behaviour of composite functionally graded plates based on Navier method. Bennoun et al. [13] studied vibration response of sandwich functionally graded plates utilizing refined five-variable plate theory. Vibration and bending of functionally graded plates were presented by Houari et al. [14] utilizing classical, Mindling and Reddy theories. Vibration response of sandwich circular plates was presented by Alipour and Shariyat [15] based on finite element method. Abualnour et al. [16] investigated vibration of functionally graded plates utilizing higher order shear theory assuming stretching influences. Fourn et al. [17] studied wave propagation of functionally graduated plates utilizing a hyperbolic high order theory. Meksi et al. [18] presented vibration, bending and buckling of functionally graded plates applying quasi-parabolic theory. Vibration, buckling and smart control of sandwich laminated conical truncated shells with smart layers were studied by Hajmohammad et al. [19], [20] utilizing LW theory. Moleiro et al. [21] studied static behaviour of laminated plates subjected to thermal load utilizing LW theory. A literature review for mechanical response of laminated and composite structures utilizing LW theory was prepared by Liew et al. [22].

Based on the mentioned literature review, no paper has been found for mechanical analysis of sandwich smart annular nanoplate. In this article, vibration, buckling and bending response of annular nanoplate with smart layers are studied. The small scale effects are considered based on higher order nonlocal theory. The surface stresses of the three layers are assumed utilizing Gurtin–Murdoch theory. Applying LW theory and method of energy, the motion equations are obtained and solved by DCM for calculating the frequency, buckling load and deflection of the nanostructure. The influences of various parameters such as external voltage, boundary condition, surface stresses, nonlocal parameter, outer to inner radius ratio and core to top layer thickness ratio were shown on the vibration, buckling and bending responses of the sandwich smart annular nanoplate.
