Dynamic response analysis of a foam-based nanoscale platebased on finite strip method

Abstract

The present article deals with a dynamic response analysis of a foam-based nanoscale plate based on finite strip method (FSM). The nanoscale plate formulation has been adopted based upon a higher order plate theory and then, a higher order finite strip has been used to solve the problem. The considered finite strip is capable of considering the bending displacement and also shear deformation effects. The foam-based material has been treated as a porous material with some particular pore distribution. The non-uniformity of strain field as well as the nonlocality of stress field have been incorporated with the usage of nonlocal strain gradient elasticity. It is clearly showen that the proposed solution based on finite strip method can accurately simulate the dynamic response of considered plate under external forces. The scale factors due to small size of the plate and foam-based material will show a remarkable impact on the dynamic response.
