Summary: The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of porosity on the free vibration and buckling characteristics of sigmoid functionally graded nanoplate. Modified rule of the mixture is used to calculate the effective material properties of porous sigmoid functionally graded nanoplate. Three schemes of porosity distribution are investigated. The governing equations for free vibration and buckling analysis are established using Eringen's nonlocal elastic theory and isogeometric analysis. The effects of porosity distribution, porosity parameter, material power index, boundary conditions, and aspect ratio on the frequency response of nanoplate are presented.

Summary: In this study, a nonlocal strain gradient isogeometric model for free vibration analysis of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) nanoplates made of functionally graded (FG) materials is presented. The model takes into account higher-order shear deformation theory, nonlocal strain gradient theory, and isogeometric analysis method. The stiffness of MEE-FG nanoplates is shown to be influenced by two scale parameters. The natural frequency of the nanoplates is evaluated by considering the power-law scheme, geometrical parameter, nonlocal parameter, strain gradient parameter, electric voltage, and magnetic potential. The results obtained using nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) are compared to those obtained using classical theory.

Summary: This study examines the thermal vibration and buckling behavior of a functionally graded nanoplate. The nanoplate consists of a silicon nitride/stainless steel core plate and two cobalt-ferrite/barium-titanate face plates. Four different porosity models were used to simulate the nanoplate's porosity, and various variables affecting the nanoplate's behavior were considered. The study found that the thermomechanical behavior of nanoplates with magneto-electro-elastic face layers and a functionally graded porous core plate is influenced by material gradation indices, porosity ratios, nonlocal variables, and different core plate material porosity models.

Summary: This study investigates the wave propagation characteristics of porous nanoshells made of barium titanate and cobalt ferrite, with simulated porosity distribution and the use of nonlocal strain gradient theory and first-order shear deformation theory. Various parameters, such as dimensionless scale parameters and bi-directional functionally graded indices, are examined to understand their influence on wave propagation characteristics. The findings suggest that the dispersion relationship is related to the ratio of scale parameters, and the wave propagation characteristics depend on the bi-directional functionally graded indices.
