Abstract

In this paper, static analysis of a nano rectangular plate subjected to uniform distributed load is studied based on modified couple stress theory (MSCT) by using Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) Method. The inclusion of an additional material parameter enables the new plate model to capture the size effect. The new non-classical plate model reduces to the classical plate model when the length scale parameter is set to zero. In deriving of the governing equations, the minimum total potential energy principle is used. In the solution of the governing equations, the DQM method is used for simply-supported nano plate within the Kirchhoff-Love plate theory. In the numerical results, the influences the material length scale parameter and the dimension parameters of the plate on the static deflection of the nano plate is presented. Also, the difference between the classical theory (CT) and MSCT is investigated for static responses of nano plate.
