Free vibration problem of embedded magneto-electro-thermo-elastic nanoplate made of functionally graded materials via nonlocal third-order shear deformation theory

In the present article, according to the nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of the third-order shear deformable plate assumption, the theoretical analysis of thermomechanical vibration response of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic nanoplate made of functionally graded materials resting on the visco-Pasternak medium is carried out. The simply supported magneto-electro-thermo-elastic nanoplate is supposed to subject to initial external electric, magnetic potentials, and temperature environment. The material characteristics of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic nanoplate are assumed to be variable continuously across the thickness direction based upon power law distribution. Hamilton's principle is utilized to achieve the partial differential equations and corresponding boundary conditions. The equilibrium equations are solved analytically to determine the complex eigenfrequency using Navier's approach which satisfies the simply supported boundary conditions. Numerical studies are performed to illustrate the dependency of the natural frequency of the system on the damping coefficient of the visco-Pasternak medium, nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, temperature change, volume fraction index of functionally graded material, initial external electric voltage, initial external magnetic potential, and plate thickness. It is clearly indicated that these factors have highly significant impacts on the dynamic behavior of the proposed system.
