Size dependent effect on the buckling and vibration analysis of double-bonded nanocomposite piezoelectric plate reinforced by boron nitride nanotube based on modified couple stress theory

چکیده مقاله

In this article, the buckling and vibration analysis of a double-bonded nanocomposite piezoelectric plate reinforced by a boron nitride nanotube based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach is developed using modified couple stress theoryunder electro-thermo-mechanical loadings surrounded by an elastic foundation. Using Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of motion are obtained by applying a modified couple stress theory and the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach for piezoelectric material and Kirchhoff plate. These equations are coupled for the double-layer plate using the Pasternak foundation and solved using Navier’s type solution. Then the dimensionless frequencies and critical buckling load for simply-supported boundary conditions are obtained. The effects of material length scale parameter, elastic foundation coefficients, aspect ratio (a/b), length to thickness ratio (a/h), transverse and longitudinal wave numbers on the dimensionless natural are investigated. The dimensionless frequency of a double-bonded nanocomposite piezoelectric plate increases with increasing length to thickness ratio and decreases with increasing aspect ratio. In addition, the effect of the elastic foundation on the dimensionless frequency of double-bonded nanocomposite piezoelectric plates is more considerable for higher elastic medium parameters. The critical buckling load also decreases with an increase in the dimensionless material length scale parameter.
