New static and dynamic analyses of macro and nano FGM plates using exact three-dimensional elasticity in thermal environment

In this article, the static and dynamic behaviors of macro and nano inhomogeneous plates made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been investigated based on three-dimensional elasticity theory in combination with the nonlocal theory of Eringen. Variation of deflection along the thickness has been considered as the result of three-dimensional analysis. The governing equations have been derived and developed considering the nonlocal...
