The Casimir force is resulting from the propagation of retarded electromagnetic waves and acts in sub-micron separations. This force is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the nano/micro-plate’s deflection. Hence, ...

In this paper, quasi three-dimensional (quasi-3D) hyperbolic shear deformation theory is used for the free vibration analysis of functionally graded nanoplates by using the isogeometric analysis (IGA) approach and nonlocal elasticity theory...

element can be used for all regimes due to simplicity and good convergence. Based on static responses, it can be deduced that the first element is efficient for all the range of structural characteristics. The free vibration analysis will be performed...
