Abstract

ABSTRACT: The thermal buckling analysis of nanoplates is based on nonlocal elasticity theory with four-unknown shear deformation theory resting on Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundation. The nanoplate is assumed to be under three types of thermal loadings, namely uniform temperature rise, linear temperature rise, and nonlinear temperature rise through the thickness. The theory involves four unknown variables with small-scale effects, as against five in the case of other higher-order theories and first-order shear deformation theory. Closed-form solution for theory was also presented. Results are presented to discuss the influences of the nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, and elastic foundation parameters on the thermal buckling characteristics of analytical rectangular nanoplates.
