Abstract

This paper presents static bending behaviour of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) nanoplates with four types of distribution of carbon nanotubes. The NURBS based isogeometric analysis (IGA) is associated with refined plate theory (RPT) with four unknowns, in which, there is no need to use shear correction factors. To capture the size-dependent effect of plate, the modified couple stress theory is used with only one material length scale parameter. The accuracy and efficiency of proposed method are demonstrated through comparison with reference solutions. A number of numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the influence of the length scale on the bending behaviors of FG-CNTRC nanoplates.
