Isogeometric analysis of bending, vibration, and buckling behaviors of multilayered microplates based on the non-classical refined shear deformation theory

This paper presents a non-classical refined shear deformation theory model in conjunction with the isogeometric analysis for the static bending, free vibration, and buckling behaviors of multilayered microplates. The modified couple stress theory is used to account for the small-scale effect. Taking a five-layer (Al, P3HT: PCBM, PEDOT: PSS, ITO, and Glass) organic solar cell as an example, it is found that the small-scale effects lead to a...
