Description
Summary:This paper analyzes the free vibration of micro-sized plates placed on the Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation. The microplate is made from functionally graded material (FGM) and reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs). The properties of the new material (GPL-reinforced FGM) are determined using the Halpin-Tsai model and the rule of mixtures. The governing equation for the free vibration of the micro-sized plate on the elastic foundation is developed based on a four-variable plate theory, the modified couple stress theory, and the Rayleigh-Ritz approach. The solution is compared and validated against existing studies, followed by an investigation of the effects of various parameters (material parameters, size-dependent effect, boundary conditions, and foundation coefficients) on the natural frequency of the microplate.
