W.2022-03-042022-03-042010https://repository.sfu.edu.hk/handle/sfu/2488This paper presents a higher-order nonlocal plate model and its formulation for bending analysis of nanoplates via variational principle and virtual work approach based on Leung’s unconstrained higher-order plate theory and Eringen’s nonlocal continuum theory. Bending of the simply supported rectangular higher-order nano-plate is investigated in comparison with the lower-order plate models. The numerical examples show that nonlocal nanoscale parameters increase the deflections of the plate as the rotary inertia and the transverse shear deformation do.enjournal article10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.97-101.4193
