Instability analysis of moderately thick porous micro-plate via two-variable strain gradient theory

In this study, the buckling analysis of moderately thick porous micro-plate is investigated to predict instability of the micro-plate using strain gradient theory and two-variable refined plate theory termed two-variable strain gradient theory (TV-SGT). The governing equations and new boundary conditions are achieved. Also, the Navier solution technique is utilized to obtain analytical solutions for the simply supported moderately thick porous...
