ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT

Keywords: In recent years, mechanical characteristics including vibration, bending, buckling and postbuckling, stability
Small-scaled structures and instability, etc. of small-scaled structures (such as micro/nanowires, micro and nano plates, micro and
Nonlocal theories nano tubes, micro and nano beams, carbon micro/nano-tubes, micro and nano shells, micro and nano
Nonclassical continuum theories
probes, etc.) have been broadly investigated, because of recent advances in nanotechnologies and due to
Vibration analysis
their astonishing characteristics. Also, these small-scaled structures are extensively applied in several areas.
Micro/nanoplates
However, comprehending the mechanical characteristics of these small-scaled structures is of great prominence
and yet a daunting task. To understand the mechanical behaviors and capture the effects (including small-
scale effect) of these different advanced small-scaled structures (at micro and nano levels), it is very essential
to implement them into classical/nonclassical continuum elasticity based on a suitable classical/nonclassical
elasticity formulation or theory. Thus, this work searches the literature and hereby presents an ample literature
review study with a special focus primarily on the novel progress of vibration analyses of microplates and
nanoplates using nonlocal/nonclassical continuum theories of elasticity. Scopus and web of science databases
were used as the primary scholarly-databases to acquire the documents reviewed in the current research.
Furthermore, several perspectives of classifications are considered while reviewing and grouping these acquired
documents. The main purpose was to illustrate existing research trends in the vibrational analysis of small-
scaled plate-based structures utilizing nonlocal plate-based theories and nonclassical continuum elasticity
theories, and to provide a foundation and guidance for future research on the mechanics of small-scaled
plate-based structures.

sults [288]. Thus, these deep learning- and machine learning-based
methods [289–291], (other than the traditional analytical and numer-
ical modeling techniques) are being employed into the mechanics of
small-scaled structures. For instance, Samaniego et al. [292] used deep
neural networks as an approximation technique to investigate and find
out the possibility of its implementation in solving partial differential
equations (PDEs) in computational mechanics. Zhuang et al. [293] pro-
posed an energy method based on deep autoencoder for the mechanical
analyses including buckling, vibration, and bending behaviors of Kirch-
hoff plates. Guo et al. [294] proposed a deep collocation method to
analyze thin plate structure bending. You et al. [295] proposed a data-
driven optimization framework for nonlocal models using synthetic
nonlocal data. Hein and Jaanuska [296] used machine learning-based
technique (considering both classification and regression problems) and
proposed a parameter identification framework in vibrational behaviors
of nanobeams. Nguyen et al. [297] proposed a new peridynamics-based
machine learning model one dimensional and two dimensional struc-
tures. Rajasekaran et al. [298] investigated the mechanical analyses
of shear deformable micro beams using both finite element analysis a
deep learning neural network. Lian and Li [299] proposed a data-driven
and deep neural network-based framework for dynamic and frequency
behaviors of FG nano-structures using strain/stress gradient theory.
In the open literature, there exist a few numbers of review doc-
uments on the mechanical characteristics of small-scaled structures.
Regarding this and for instance, Behera and Chakraverty [139] reported
the application of nonclassical continuum elasticity theories on the
analyses of nanotube structure vibrations. Kanu et al. [142] compre-
hensively reported a study on the functionally graded (FG) and smart
FG materials. Wu and Yu [143] reviewed the mechanics of carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) and nanobeams according to Eringen’s nonlocal elas-
ticity theory (ENET). Ebrahimi et al. [145] comprehensively reviewed
smart piezoelectric nanostructure modeling. Kong [146] reported a
comprehensive review on modified couple stress theory (MCST) for
the size dependent micro-plates and micro-beams has been reported.
Roudbari et al. [150] reviewed size-dependent analyses of small-scaled
structures using continuum theories and models. Jha et al. [300] re-
viewed the free vibration and buckling analyses of FG plates. Chandel
et al. [301] reported the developments in the analyses and modeling of

on the computational analyses of smart magneto-electro-elastic (MEE)
structures/materials. Furthermore, Table 1 shows the summary and
provides a brief comparison of the existing similar literature studies
related to the considered subject matter. Nonetheless, as far as the
authors are aware of, there is no review document in the literature
that reports the advancements and applications of vibration analysis of
small-scaled structures (exclusively on micro/nanoplate structures) by
utilizing the nonclassical continuum theories of elasticity. Therefore,
this paper explores the literature and hereby presents an-ample and
a-systematic novel review on the progresses of vibration analyses of
micro/nanoplate structures utilizing the nonclassical continuum elas-
ticity theories. To do so, systematically we used Scopus database as the
main scholarly-database to acquire the documents reviewed here. Fur-
thermore, several perspectives of classifications are considered while
reviewing and grouping these acquired documents.

The remaining of the article is structured as follows; brief back- 2. Background

ground information concerning the nonclassical continuum theories of
elasticity and nonlocal/nonclassical plate-based theories is introduced
in Section 2. Further, the section provides and discusses the applica-
tions, limitations, and drawbacks of these nonclassical continuum the-
ories and plate-based structures. Section 3 reports the literature review
methodology followed in this wok while conducting the literature sur-
vey study, the results obtained, and how these documents are analyzed
and classified. The section reports the overall methodology followed,
what database and databases were used while acquiring the documents
to be reviewed. Section 4 discusses and reports the advancements in
vibration analyses of micro/nanoplate structures utilizing nonclassical
continuum theories of elasticity and plate-based modeling techniques.
The studies are reported in a summary-based manner, yet a compre-
hensive classification. Further, in this section, studies related to vi-
brational analyses of micro/nanoplate-based structures are categorized
and reported based on the investigated micro/nanoplate type struc-
ture. Lastly, discussion, concluding remark, and future perspectives are
drawn in Section 4.9.
2.1. Nonclassical continuum theories
Since the 1960s and with the idea of Cosserat and Cosserat from
1909, researchers have shown much more interest and implementations
of nonclassical continuum theories, and thus, numerous continuum
theories and higher-order continuum theories and modified theories
of elasticity have been proposed. Similarly, these continuum theories
are classified into three main categories, i.e., nonlocal elasticity, micro-
continuum, strain gradient and theories. In continuum theories of
elasticity, there exist classical and nonclassical theories for contin-
uum mechanics. And the main difference between them (classical and
nonclassical) lies in their descriptions of the constitutive equations of
an elastic body [143]. Nonlocal theory expresses that the stress at
each body point is generated by the strains of all points according to
a kernel function [304]. The classical elasticity theory could not be
applied for the prediction of the mechanical properties of structures at
small-scale dimensions, and is unable to detect size effects when the
dimensions of the structure become comparable with internal scales

of the body. Because of these limitations, the nonclassical theories
are introduced and are applied in several fields of studies, as they
are able to incorporate the long-range interactions between points in
a continuum body and consider small-scale effects [305,306]. Strain

into using the length scale parameters of the material. Couple stress
theory [307,308] only takes into account rotation vector gradient in
strain energy, and as a result only two material length scale parame-
ters are needed. Later, Yang et al. [309] modified CST and proposed
modified couple stress theory by establishing a moment equilibrium
condition for couples to introduce symmetry into couple stress tensor
and thus, MCST material length scale parameter is reduced to one.
Mindlin [310] proposed first strain gradient theory by consideration
only the first strain gradient in the formulation. Later, Mindlin [311]
proposed second strain gradient theory which is considered as the most
general form of strain gradient theory which accounts for both first
and second strain gradients. Lam et al. [312] proposed modified strain
gradient theory. Eringen [152,313,314] proposed microcontinuum the-
ory which was consisted of micromorphic, microstretch and micropolar
(3M) theories. Kroner [315] initially developed nonlocal elasticity the-
ory and later Eringen and Edelen [316–318] improved it. Similarly,
stress-driven model was proposed by Romano and Barretta [319] for
the analyses of nanobeams, and later in the year 2019 it was extended
to investigate the mechanical characteristics of nanoplates [320]. Ro-
mano and Barretta [321] presented a comparative study between the
ERINGEN strain-driven integral model and stress-driven integral model.
Furthermore, very recently, Ren et al. [220] proposed an NOM for
discretizing the partial differential equations of mechanical problems.

provides the advantages, limitations, and applications of these con-
tinuum elasticity theories on small-scaled strictures. For more details
on these theories, more information are available in the following
documents [153,322–332], the review documents that are summarized
in Table 1.
2.2. Plate-based structures and nonclassical plate-based continuum theories
Plate-based structures including graphene sheets, micro/nanoplates,
metallic carbon micro/nanosheets have been greatly utilized in several
fields of nanotechnologies because of their astonishing characteris-
tics [335,336]. Further, due to their promising electrical and mechan-
ical characteristics, these plate-based structures in micro and nano
scales have been used in the applications of micro/nanomechanical res-
onators, micro/nano-mass sensors, micro/nano-mass actuators, Thus,
and with the implementation of several plate models and using nu-
merous plate-based theories, the mechanical characteristics these small-
scaled plate-based structures have been greatly investigated. The me-
chanical responses of these small-scaled based structures can be ana-
lyzed using molecular dynamics simulations (time consuming), exper-
imentations (expensive, hard to conduct), and classical or nonclassical

continuum mechanics of elasticity (nonclassical; takes into-account
the small-scale influence). In the open literature, several nonclassi-
cal/nonlocal plate-based theories have been proposed and applied in
the analyses of small-scaled plated-based structures. These include
CPT, FSDT, TSDT, refined-plate SDT, HSDTs, and etc. Further infor-
mation on these plate-based theories can be found in the following
referred documents; [337–339]. Similarly, in the literature, there ex-
ist extensive studies investigating the mechanical characteristics of
plate-based structures employing several modeling approaches that in-
volve analytical and numerical methods, and finite element formulation
techniques [340–383].
3. Literature review methodology, analysis, and results
Scopus database is used to acquire the documents reviewed in
this work. The keyword-string ‘‘vibration analysis’’ was used, followed
by search-within-search keyword-string of ‘‘nanoplates’’, then search-
within-search string keyword of ‘‘nonlocal theory’’ was used as the
third keywords search string. First, the research was carried out and
the documents were acquired on March 15, 2022. With the use of
‘‘vibration analysis’’ as the first search string, 71,246 document results
showed up. The documents decreased to 1538 document results with
the use of ‘‘nanoplates’’ as the second ‘search-within-search’ string.
Further, with the use of ‘‘nonlocal theory’’ as the third ‘search within
search’ string, the documents reduced to 567 document results. How-
ever, 20 documents that are reported in the current-year (2022) and
2 documents reported in Chinese were excluded in the documents
results, and we were left with 545 documents to download. Further,
these documents were ‘limit to’ those reported from the year 2009
to 2021 (both inclusive), ‘‘(TITLE-ABS-KEY (‘‘vibration analysis’’)) AND
(EXCLUDE (PUBYEAR, 2022)) AND ((‘‘nanoplates’’)) AND (‘‘nonlocal
theory’’) AND ( EXCLUDE (LANGUAGE, ‘‘Chinese’’))’’ [333,334].
Figs. 1–3 report and illustrate the documents statistics obtained
from Scopus database using the abovementioned search keywords
strings. Fig. 1 illustrate Scopus documents statistics distributions by
year (ranging from 2009 to 2021, both years inclusive). Distribution
of documents by type (including 528 research articles, 9 conference
papers, 7 review articles, and a book chapter) is illustrated in Fig. 2.
Within the document distributions by year, i.e., in Fig. 1, 20 docu-
ments were reported in the first 4 years (including 2009, 2010, 2011,
and 2012). Later, in the year 2013 and year 2014, 13 documents

were reported, each year. The spike happened in the year 2015 with
32 published documents. Since then, much and higher number of
documents have been reported, and the applications of small-scaled
structures (micro and nano sized structures) in several fields of studies
have received tremendous attention and implementations by the re-
searchers, each year with an increasing reported number of documents.
Nonetheless, a slight drop (as seen in Fig. 1) in the number of published
documents was observed in the past two years (i.e., 2020 and 2021),
perhaps this might have to do with the outbreak of the recent pandemic
(covid-19).
Fig. 3 illustrates document/article distribution by subject area. It
can obviously be seen that Engineering and Materials Science have
the highest number of published documents (where this shows how
extensively small-scaled structures are applied in these contexts), 454
and 294 documents, respectively. Then, followed by the following fields
of studies; Physics and Astronomy, Mathematics, Chemical Engineering,
Computer Science, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular, Chemistry,
Biology, and Earth and Planetary Sciences, and the rest.
Furthermore, some other databases are used (visited) to acquire and
add more documents that are reviewed in the present work. These ad-
ditional databases include ScienceDirect (mostly), Google Scholar, IEEE
and others. These acquired documents (from both Scopus and other
databases) were combined all together to be analyzed and reviewed.
Some (the additional documents) of which were mostly used in building
the background information and several parts of the present work. At
first, these documents were merged to remove duplicates and irrelevant
ones. Then, with what is left (documents) we provide a summary-based
and detailed-based classifications considering several categorizations
and perspectives. By considering a detailed-based classification ap-
proach, these studies (by providing several tabular classifications and
with a special focus on those that are mainly reported on the vibrational
analyses, micro/nanoplate structures, and utilizing nonclassical contin-
uum theories of elasticity) are extensively (in a comprehensive way)
reviewed and classified. To summarize, these classifications involve the
following perspectives:
• These studies are classified based on micro/nanoplate type inves-
tigated/proposed. These micro/nanoplate types and categories in-
volve piezoelectric-based, viscoelastic-based, composite/
sandwich/layered-based, FG-based, composite-based, magneto-
electro-elastic (MEE) based, graphene-based, circular/annular-
based, cracked-based, rotating-based, and others micro/nanoplate
structures.
11
Thin-Walled Structures 179 (2022) 109622
• As reported in Section 4, we consider classifying the documents
based on; applied/employed/proposed nonclassical continuum
theory and theories; considered micro/nanoplate model or struc-
ture; mechanical/vibrational analyses investigated; challenges
addressed and proposed methods; governing equations formula-
tion techniques; and analyzed parameters. Based on this classifi-
cation, tables (Tables 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 25, 26,
and 27) summarize, classify and report these documents.
• Further, Section 4 summarizes and reports (yet extensively dis-
cusses) these reported studies based on micro/nanoplate-type-
based structures. Similarly, several schematics (are taken into
consideration, theories, and methods applied in each study, con-
sidered model descriptions and their properties) of these
micro/nanoplate-based structures were presented (including
rectangular-based (Table 4), piezoelectric-based (Table 7),
viscoelastic-based (Table 9), sandwich/layered-based (Table 11),
composite-based (Table 13), FG-based (Table 15), MEE-based (Ta-
ble 17), graphene-based (Table 19), circular-based and
annular-based (Tables 21 and 22), and rotating-based (Table 23)).
4. Advancements on vibration analyses of small-scaled plate-
based structures
In the last decade, there have been a fast progress and an escalation
in the quantity of studies reported in the context of nanostructures
and nanotechnology using the existing and developing new nonlo-
cal theories to evaluate such small-scaled structures [384–391], for
instance; free and linear vibration [392–432], forced and linear vibra-
tion [184,433–445], free and damped/damping vibration [446–452],
transverse/lateral free vibration [193,453–457], shear vibration [458],
free and axisymmetric vibrational response [190,459–462], free and
isogeometric vibration [463–467], free and nonlinear vibration [468–
513]; force and nonlinear vibration [514,515]. This section gives and
deliberates the advancements of research works in the context of vibra-
tional investigations of these small-scaled structures (micro/nanoplate
structures) implementing various nonclassical continuum elasticity the-
ories and various plate-based nonlocal theories. Moreover, the section
presents the summary (yet in a taxonomical and comprehensive man-
ner) of these reported advancements in the vibrational analysis of micro
and nano plate structures.
Free vibration analysis of structures is of a foremost importance
for structures that are subjected to any dynamic/harmonic loadings.

Similarly, the task becomes exclusively critical when these structures

are exposed to harmonic loadings and having frequencies close to
their natural frequencies [516]. In the literature, extensive researches
have been reported concerning vibrational analyses of nanoplates using
nonclassical continuum theories. Table 4 reports some of the proposed
schematics of micro/nanoplate structures and their corresponding de-
scriptions and mechanical properties. While Tables 5 and 6 report
the summary of some of the investigated micro/nanoplate-based struc-
tures (including rectangular-based, quadrilateral-based and some other
micro/nanoplate structures).
Moreover, Hosseini-Hashemi et al. [517] studied small-scaled influ-
ences on the transverse vibrational behaviors of rectangular nanoplates
using analytical explicit closed-form solutions according to Reddy’s
nonlocal third-order shear deformation plate theory (TSDPT). With the
exception of SFSF nanoplates, results have shown that increasing aspect

Further, in the case of SFSF rectangular nanoplates, the frequency ratio
is increased with increasing value of the aspect ratio.

Pouresmaeeli et al. [518] reformulated orthotropic elastic Kirch-
hoff’s plate theory (KPT) nonlocal differential constitutive relations of
nonlocal continuum theory. An analytical method has been developed
to analyze the free vibrations of all edges and simply-supported double-
orthotropic nanoplates. The proposed model was used to investigate the
vibrations of double-orthotropic nanoplates considering three typical
deformation modes. Also, the effects of small-scale coefficient, internal
and external mediums stiffnesses, and aspect ratio were investigated.
As shown in Fig. 5, results have shown that the frequency of the
proposed model (double-orthotropic nanoplates) is always smaller than
that of double-isotropic nanoplates. Fan et al. [21] studied the shear
buckling responses of FG skewed nanoplates according to higher-order
shear deformation plate theory and taken into consideration the surface
effects. Xie et al. [2] studied the nonlinear resonance response of
porous FG silicon nanostructures under the effects of external hard
excitations. Analooei et al. [559] investigated the vibrational properties
of orthotropic and isotropic nanoplates utilizing B3-spline finite strip
method and ENET.
Murmu and Pradhan [392] examined the vibrational responses of
nanoplates subjected to uniaxially prestressed conditions by applying
the NET. The numerical frequency solutions were derived utilizing
differential quadrature method (DQM). Further, the study investigates
the influence of uniaxial preload and small scale on the nonlocal
frequency. The study concluded that the nonlocal parameter, boundary
conditions (BCs), aspect ratios, and initial uniaxial prestress have sig-
nificant influence on the vibrational responses of nanoplates. Phadikar
and Pradhan [560] investigated the finite element (FE) formulations
of nonlocal elastic Euler–Bernoulli beam and KPT. Roque et al. [561]
used MCST and a meshless method to study the mechanical properties
of isotropic microplates using FSDT.

using B3-spline finite strip method (FSM) and principle of virtual
work was reported by Analooei et al. [305]. CPT coupled with first-
order shear deformation theory decreases the nondimensional natural
frequencies as the mode number increases. Similarly, nonlocal the-
ory influence becomes more pronounced as plate size reduces, and
thus, predicts smaller nondimensional natural frequencies. Aksencer
and Aydogdu [433] investigated the forced transverse vibrations of
nanoplates using ENET and Navier type solution method. It was eluci-
dated that nonlocality effects should be considered for forced vibration
of nano-plates with length less than 20 nm.
Analooei et al. [565] conducted the thermo-electro-mechanical
(TEM) analyses of triangular and quadrilateral nanoplates based on
ENET with KPT using HP and B3-spline FSM. Nonlinear free vibra-
tion and pull-in instability analyses of micro/nanoplates with surface
effects according to MCST and Gurtin–Murdoch theory (GMT) was
reported Wang et al. [519]. As shown in Fig. 6, results show that
taking into account the surface energy and length scale parameters
can possibly and considerably enhance the fundamental natural fre-
quency and pull-in of micro/nanoplates. Farahmand [556] reported

several studies were reported concerning the applicability and ap-
plications of these piezoelectric micro/nanostructures. Summary of
some amongst the reported vibrational analysis of piezoelectric-based
micro/nanoplate structures (along with their schematics) are reported
in Tables 7 and 8. Quan et al. [527] considered nonlinear forced vi-
brational responses of thermo-electro-elastic imperfect penta-graphene
piezoelectric nanoplates on an EF, considering the thermal effects,
von-Karman geometrical nonlinearity effects, using FSDT, Galerkin
method, HP, and Runge–Kutta method. Numerically, they investigated
the influence of several parameters including EF, geometrical param-
eters, applied voltage, temperature, and initial imperfection on the
fundamental natural frequency. Furthermore, they studied the relations
between nonlinear to linear frequency ratio and dimensionless ampli-
tude, and the dynamic response of penta-graphene piezoelectric plates.
Fig. 7 shows the results and effects of these parameters. As shown in the
figure, it was noted that the increase of temperature change decreases
fundamental natural frequency response of the piezoelectric plates, and
increase the frequency ratio and dynamic response of the piezoelectric
plates.
Ebrahimi and Barati [541] investigated the TEM vibration behaviors
of size-dependent flexoelectric nanoplates according to NET and surface
elasticity theory, taken into account the surface and thermal effects.
Fig. 8 illustrates the results obtained and the variations on frequency re-
sponse considering thermal loading and flexoelectricity effects (Fig. 8A)
and temperature effects (Fig. 8B) of SSSS piezoelectric nanoplates. It
was noted that increasing the nonlocal parameter and temperature
(at constant nonlocal parameter) provide lower frequencies. Also, it
was noted that at every magnitude of temperature change, increasing

cies of piezoelectric nanoplates. Asemi et al. [575] used piezoelectric
nanofilms (PNFs) that are subjected to an external electric voltage to
investigate the large vibrational amplitude of nanoelectromechanical
resonators. Jandaghian and Rahmani [576] investigated the free vibra-
tional response of FG piezoelectric nanoplates using ENET and KPT,
taken into account simply supported edge BCs. Wang et al. [577] de-
veloped a novel 2D theory of piezoelectric nanoplates and BCs based on
NET and surface PET, using HP. The study investigated the forced and
free vibrational responses of ceramic circular piezoelectric nanoplates
using the proposed 2D piezoelectric nanoplates equations. The results
showed that nonlocal and surface influences have a great effect on the
resonant frequencies of piezoelectric circular-nanoplates performance,
as depicted in Fig. 9. This is because the nonlocal effects decrease
piezoelectric plate stiffness at nanoscale, as a results the frequencies
decrease [578]. Numanoğlu and Civalek [579] explored ENET to in-
vestigate the free vibrational frequencies of small-scaled structures
involving frames and trusses.

quency response of smart piezoelectric polymeric nanoplates. Khor-

of piezoelectric nanoplates. Influence of several parameters (including
geometrical shape, nonlocal parameter, TEM loadings, BCs, side length,
and aspect ratio) were investigated. It was noted that effect small-
scale plays a critical role in the vibrational behaviors of triangular and
quadrilateral piezoelectric nanoplates. Similarly, as shown in Fig. 11A
(the figure shows natural frequency variations with nondimensional
nonlocal parameter), it was noted that size effect of skew plates with
a smaller corner angle expressively influenced than those with larger
corner angle. Further, Fig. 11B shows the frequencies of clamped
and simply supported BCs triangular nanoplates with nondimensional
nonlocal parameter. It was noted that decreasing the skew angle of
triangular nanoplates makes small-scale effect to become more signif-
icant, and this has to do with the appearance of singularities at the
corners. Also, small-scall effect affects clamped BCs nanoplates than
it affects simply supported BCs nanoplates. Zhang et al. [591] inves-

havior of micro/nanoplate has direct relations with its geometrical pa-
rameters. Furthermore, it was noted that the nonlinear nondimensional
frequency of nanoplate-based DWBNNTs is increased by increasing
the values of geometrical aspect ratios, elastic medium constants, and
volume fraction of DWBNNTs, but decreases with increase of nonlocal
parameter.

according to sinusoidal normal deformation and shear theory (SS-
NDT) and HP. Effects of several parameters including thickness ratio,
Young’s modulus, nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, porosity index,
and silica aerogel foundation height were investigated. Based on nu-
merical results obtained, it was noted that these parameters have
major influence on the vibrational responses of sandwich piezoelectric
nanoplate. Fig. 12 illustrates the effects of Young’s modulus and silica
aerogel foundation height on the nondimensional natural frequencies of
sandwich piezoelectric nanoplates. It was noted that for several modes
the frequencies decrease with increase in the height of aerogel foun-
dation. Similarly, increasing the Young’s moduli parameter enhances
foundation stiffness, and as a result natural frequencies increase.

Shariati et al. [599] studied nonlinear vibrational response and
dynamic instability of reinforced piezoelectric nanoplates subjected to
parametric excitation and the electric voltage based on ENET using von
Karman nonlinearity, HP, MTS method. Further, using Mathieu–Hill
equation the bifurcations were considered in the nonlinear instabil-
ity analyses. Effects of several parameters including visco-Pasternak
foundation coefficients, applied electric voltage, and the parametric
excitation were studied. According to the obtained results, it was found
27
Thin-Walled Structures 179 (2022) 109622
that amplitude response depends on the term of the natural frequency.
Similarly, it was concluded that damping coefficient is responsible for
bifurcation point variation.
4.2. Viscoelastic-based micro/nanoplate structures
Ebrahimi et al. [564] investigated the damping vibrational anal-
ysis of smart viscoelastic nanoplates resting on VPM using a nonlo-
cal SGT and plate model. Zenkour and Sobhy [590] reported piezo-
hygrothermal vibrational analysis of orthotropic piezoelectric viscoelas-
tic nanoplate embedded in a Kelvin–Voigt VPM based on two-variable
SSDPT and ENET. Souad et al. [609] derived numerical and ana-
lytical methods for damped vibrations of viscoelastic FG nanoplates
resting on VEF according to nonlocal HSDPTs using Navier method and
HP. Forced vibrational responses of visco-nanoplates resting on VEM
by utilizing the nonlocal theory was presented by Hosseini-Hashemi
et al. [610]. Electro-elastic nonlinear vibration analyses of viscoelastic
nanoplates according to NET was presented by Ebrahimy and Hos-
seini [611]. Free and damped vibrational properties of orthotropic
nanoplates, and a 3D linear viscoelasticity theory (VET) named GHVMs
using standard linear solid and Maxwell models were investigated by
Rajabi and Hosseini-Hashemi [612]. Jamalpoor et al. [613] reported
the analytical vibrational analysis of orthotropic multi-viscoelastic mi-
croplate systems (OMVMPS) based on KPT and MSGT using Navier’s
method and HVP (Hamilton’s variational principle) as well as trigono-
metric methods. Ajri et al. [597] conducted a nonlinear size-dependent
analyses of viscoelastic nanoplates according to MCST and KPT using
Galerkin method, expansion theory, HP, and Runge–Kutta technique.

It was noted that, unlike elastic ones, the vibrations of viscoelastic
nanoplate systems are nonstationary at higher excitation values. The
study reports the investigated nanoplate contains a hardening type
dynamic behavior, and this behavior increases (becomes stronger) with
thickness ratio increment as elucidated in Fig. 13. Ghavanloo and
Fazelzadeh [598] explored the flexural vibrational and instability anal-
yses of viscoelastic CNTs conveying fluid embedded in a viscous fluid
according to nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory (TBT), HP, and the
Galerkin’s method for governing equations discretization. Effects of
numerous parameters including internal moving fluid, CNTs structural
damping, temperature change, external viscous fluid, and nonlocal
parameter. It was elucidated that increase in the nonlocal-parameter
lessens the critical flow velocity, as depicted in Fig. 14. Further, it
was noted that the nonlocal-TBT delivers smaller frequency values
compared to those frequencies obtained from local continuum results.
Hashemi et al. [600] examined free vibrational responses of coupled
double viscoelastic graphene sheets (CDVGSs) nanoplates considering
orthotropic and viscoelastic Single-layer graphene sheets (SLGSs) layers
according to NET, KPT and Kelvin–Voigt model using HP and solving
the governing equations analytically obtain the complex natural fre-
quency. Influence of several parameters including nonlocal parameter,
aspect ratio, viscoelastic damping structure, mode number, and VPM
(VPM) was scrutinized. It was noted that the increasing the aspect
ratio increases the natural frequency as shown in Fig. 15A. Fig. 15B
illustrates the external damping and length of square nanoplate effects
on the fundamental damped frequency of out-of-phase mode. These

the nanoplates, two scale parameters of SG and nonlocal effects were
taken into consideration in the theory formulation. The viscoelastic-
effect was taken into account using Kelvin–Voigt model, governing
equations formulation using HP, governing equations discretization
via Galerkin’s method. Further, effects of several parameters including
viscoelasticity, length scale parameter, Winkler–Pasternak parameters,
nonlocal parameter, and applied voltage on the damped vibrational
behaviors were scrutinized. As depicted in Fig. 16, it was found that
presence of nonlocal parameter reduces the frequency response values
of the piezoelectric nanoplate. However, the nonlocal-parameter effects
on the natural frequency response of the piezoelectric nanoplates solely
rely on the length scale parameter or value of the SG. Because it was
revealed that increase in the value of length scale parameter increases
the natural frequency of piezoelectric nanoplate, and this emphasizes
the stiffness-hardening effect due to the strain gradients.
Liu et al. [622] used Navier’s method to analytically explore the
transverse vibrational analysis of double-viscoelastic FG nanoplates
exposed to an in-plane edge loads and with VPM between the them
based on ENET Kelvin model and Navier’s method. Cong and Duc [623]
proposed an analytical method for the investigation of nonlinear vibra-
tion and dynamic response of FG multi-layered nanocomposite plates
reinforced graphene platelets (GPLs) in thermal environment and on
a VPM based on FSDT, Halpin–Tsai micromechanics model, a stress
function with full motion equations, and Runge–Kutta method. Ey-
vazian et al. [624] investigated the damping vibrational response and
instability behavior of viscoelastic–piezoelectric sandwich nanoplates
reinforced with non-uniform GPLs, made of a magnetorheological (MR)
fluid core and piezoelectric reinforced facesheets and subjected to a 3D
electric field on the basis of SSDT using Halpin–Tsai model, Kelvin–
Voigt theory to determine the structural damping of the piezoelectric
layers, HP and differential cubature method (DCM). Fan et al. [550]
Used ENET and Hamiltonian-based method and symplectic method
to analytically investigate forced vibrational response of orthotropic
nanoplates on a VEF. Ebrahimi et al. [625] analytically studied forced
vibrational response of pre-stressed GSs subjected to a mechanical
shock. Mohammadi and Rastgoo [603] considered the FG/lipid porosity
distribution in primary and secondary resonance vibrational analysis of
nanoplates. Talebi-Amanieh et al. [626] investigated magneto-electro-
mechanical (MEM) vibration behaviors of porous FG viscoelastic smart
sandwich nanoplate composed of a viscoelastic core. Moreover, Table 9
depicts several schematics of viscoelastic nanoplate-based structures
along with their considered descriptions and mechanical properties,
and Table 10 reports the summary of these and more reported studies
of vibrational investigations of viscoelastic nanoplate-based structures
using nonlocal theory.

4.3. Sandwich/composite/layered-based micro/nanoplate structures
Ebrahimi and Barati [540] developed a nonlocal SG plate-based
model to analyze the vibrations of double-layered nanoplates under
linearly variable in-plane mechanical loads in hygro-thermal environ-
ments. Eyvazian et al. [624] scrutinized the instability and vibration
analyses of sandwich plates composed of GPLs based on PET and SSDT.
Arefi et al. [594] analyzed free vibrations of sandwich FG nanoplate
utilizing the two-variable SSDT and ENT and considering the neutral
surface, using Navier’s method and HP. Nematollahi and Moham-
madi [627] studied the nonlinear geometrically vibration analysis of
sandwich nanoplates according to nonlocal SGT and CPT. Moham-
madimehr and Rostami [440] investigated the free and forced vibra-
tional behaviors of MEE nanocomposite microplate using TSDT. Raghu
et al. [628] investigated analytical solutions of vibration behaviors of
laminated composite nanoplates using ENET and nonlocal TSDT using
Navier solutions. Analytical analyses of laminated composites plates
using TSDT based on ENT and Reddy’s TSDPT, HP and utilizing Navier’s
method were proposed by Raghu et al. [628]. Vibration analysis of
FG polymer composite nanoplates with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs)
reinforced based on ENT and two-variable SSDT was reported by Arefi
et al. [629]. Wang et al. [534] presented nonlinear equations for
double-layered nanoplates considering several BCs and utilizing the
ENET.
Tran et al. [601] coupled FEM and nonlocal SGT to study free
vibrational responses of sandwich FG nanoplates on an EF based on a
mixed interpolation of tensorial components (MITC4) method and HP.
The shear-locking problem was addressed using four-node quadrilateral
element formulation based on MITC4, characteristics were considered
to change along thickness direction and taken into account two types
of FG materials for upper and lower layers (type-A with homogeneous
core and FG distribution, and type-B with FG and homogeneous core).
Effects of different parameters including power-law index, geometric
parameters and material properties on the free vibrational charac-
teristics of sandwich FG nanoplates were scrutinized. Dimensionless
frequencies of FG sandwich nanoplates numerical results (some) ob-
tained are illustrated in Fig. 17. It is shown that increment of the
volume fraction of power-law index results in reducing the dimension-
less frequencies of sandwich FG nanoplates, likewise increment of the
nonlocal parameter.
Arefi et al. [629] used two-variable SSDT and a NET to investigate
free vibrational analysis of FG polymer composite nanoplates reinforced
with GNPs on a Pasternak foundation. Zenkour and El-Shahrany [630]
investigated the hygrothermal vibration of composite laminated plate
resting on Pasternak’s foundations using Navier’s method, HP, and
using several theories including CPT, FSDPT, TSDPT, simple sinusoidal
shear deformation plate theory (SSDPT) and refined-SSDPT. Nonlocal
vibrations of porous FG sandwich nanoplates using the nonlocal SGT
and ENET and FSDT were investigated by Arefi et al. [631]. Arani
et al. [602] applied several theories including surface and nonlocal
piezo-elasticity to study small-scale and surface stress influences on the
nonlinear vibration responses of a single-layered-boron-nitride sheets.
It was seen that increasing the nonlocal parameter decreases the nondi-
mensional nonlinear frequency and at an adequately high nonlocal
parameter values it stays the same (does not change), as shown in
Fig. 18.
Mohammadi and Rastgoo [603] used NET to investigate the non-
linear vibrations (taken into account the external harmonic excitation
force) of composite nanoplates made of FG core and two lipid layers
using Kelvin–Voigt model. Lipid layer viscoelastic effect was modeled
using Kelvin–Voigt model. Results obtained have shown that nonlocal
parameter decreases the nonlinearity of the composite nanoplate sys-
tem, as depicted in Fig. 19. Nguyen et al. [632] studied the nonlinear
dynamic vibrations of sandwich laminated plates according to FSDT.
Sahla et al. [633] developed a simple four-variable trigonometric shear
deformation model for the vibrations of laminated composite plates

according to HSDT, Navier’s method principle of virtual work. Arefi and
Zenkour [604] reported size-dependent dynamics and free vibrational
responses of PEMSNs on viscoelastic-Pasternak’s foundation according
to KPT and ENET. The sandwich plate was made of an elastic nano-
core and two PEM face-sheets, and the facesheets serve as sensor and
actuator actuated by magnetic and electric potentials. Effects of several
31
Thin-Walled Structures 179 (2022) 109622
parameters involving applied electric potential, magnetic potential,
visco-Pasternak’s parameters, nonlocal parameter, and geometric pa-
rameters including thickness and side length. Also, effects of several
BCs on the vibrational behaviors of PEMSNs were discussed. Fig. 20
depicts the frequencies of PEMSNs in terms of the foundation param-
eters involving the spring parameter and shear parameter. The figure
reveals that increasing the two (spring parameter and shear parame-
ter) foundation parameters produces an increment in the fundamental
natural frequency response. Which is because the sandwich nanoplate
becomes more stiffer as the two foundation parameters get higher.
Żur et al. [605] analytically and numerically studied the free vibra-
tion response of MEE FG nanoplates by utilizing the modified SSDT,
considering thickness stretching effect. HP was applied to obtain mo-
tion equations, these equations of motion of the rectangular to sim-
ply supported nanoplates were discretized utilizing Navier solution
to obtain the closed-form analytical solutions. Electric and magnetic
potentials were taken into consideration using a half cosine variation,
and power-law distribution was employed to model FG materials prop-
erty variations. Effects of several parameters involving magnetic and
electric fields, power-law index, nonlocal parameter, tensile and axial
compressive forces, FG volume ratio, piezomagnetic layers, and aspect
ratio on the vibrational behaviors of nanoplates. Fig. 21A shows the
variations in the natural frequencies of FG sandwich nanoplate coupled
with piezomagnetic face-sheets versus FG nano-core power-law index

result the natural frequencies are decreased significantly. Fig. 21B
presents the fundamental natural frequencies of the nanoplates in terms
of variable thickness and several nonlocal parameter values. It was
noted that the increase of the thickness parameter value increases the
natural frequency response of the system. Which apparently means the
system stiffness significantly increases as the system thickness param-
eter value increases. Also, increasing the thickness parameter value
significantly increases the effects of the nonlocal parameter.
Amir et al. [566] studied size-dependent vibrations of porous rect-
angular nanoplates made of PEM face sheets and under preloads on
the basis of SSDT. Arani et al. [509] investigated the nonlinear vibra-
tional analyses of bonded double-smart composite microplate system

In tables (Tables 15 and 16), the summary of some of the investi-
gated studies on the vibrational analyses of FG-based micro/nanoplate
structures using nonclassical continuum theories. Similarly, several
FG materials types are depicted in Fig. 22. Furthermore, Sahmani
et al. [89] used the nonlocal SGT taken into account the size effects
to investigate the nonlinear large-amplitude vibrational behaviors of

inforced by utilizing the refined exponential shear deformation plate
theory (ESDPT). Ansari et al. [678] presented the nonlocal 3D vibra-

ture (VDQ). Natarajan et al. [679] investigated the free and flexural
vibrations of FG nanoplates utilizing the iso-geometric based FEM based
on ENET and FSDT. It was found that, irrespective of thick or thin
plate, and square or rectangular plate, the natural frequency decreases
33

with increase of nonlocal parameter and the gradient index. Arani

effects of nonlocal parameter on the frequency behaviors of square FG
nanoplates taken into account several BCs. In all BCs, it was noted that
nonlocal parameter increment increases the size-dependency. Further-
more, it can be seen that CCCC is the least size-dependent BC, and SSSS
is the highest size-dependent BC.

studied the vibrational behaviors of size-dependent smart and inhomo-
geneous MEE-FG nanoplates taken into account several BCs based on
ENET, four-variable RPT, power-law model. The material properties of
the MEE nanoplate vary through the thickness direction according to
the power-law model. Equations of motion were obtained by employing
ENET, and based on a four-variable RPT that takes into account
the effects of the shear deformation. Furthermore, effects of several
parameters on the natural frequency response of MEE-FG nanoplates
were scrutinized. Fig. 25 illustrates effects of several parameters on
the nondimensional frequencies of SSSS FG MEE nanoplates. It was
concluded that lower values of gradient index significantly affect the
nondimensional frequency response, yet higher values of gradient index
have no sensible effect on the nondimensional vibrational frequency
response of the MEE-FG nanoplates. Varying the value of external
electric voltage from negative to positive produce a dropping impact

Jandaghian and Rahmani [614] presented analytical solutions on
the size-dependent vibrational analyses of piezoelectric FG rectangular
nanoplates exposed to TEM loadings, uniform change rise, biaxial
force, and applied electric voltage based on KPT, nonlocal PET, ENT,
and HP. Effects of several parameters on the vibration frequencies of
piezoelectric FG nanoplates were scrutinized. As depicted in Fig. 26, it
can be seen that nondimensional frequencies increase as the power-law
index value increase. Similarly, it was concluded at higher mode values
the nonlocality has substantial influences on the natural frequency and
this effect of the non-locality increases with increasing wave numbers.
Further, it was noted that thickness-to-length ratio increment leads to
linear increase on the natural frequency response of piezoelectric FG
nanoplates. Ebrahimi et al. [662] investigated the vibrational response
of MEE-FG porous plates on an EF on the basis of a four-variable
shear deformation RPT and modified power-law rule and utilizing the
HP and an analytical solution procedure. Mahmoudpour et al. [615]
proposed semi-analytical solutions for forced vibrations and nonlinear
natural frequency of FG double layered SSSS nanoplates resting on a
nonlinear WPEF utilizing the nonlocal SGT, MPT, von Karman strain–
displacement relations, and HAM to obtain the semi analytical solutions
of the nonlinear frequencies. Based on the results obtained, it was
noted that length-scale-parameters deliver nonlinearity of the harden-
ing type in frequencies. Increasing the length scale parameter leads to
the increase on the maximum response amplitude of the frequencies.
Similarly, as depicted in Fig. 27, increasing the SG parameter related

4.5. MEE-based micro/nanoplate structures
Table 17 reports some of the proposed schematics of MEE-based
micro/nanoplate structures and their corresponding descriptions and
mechanical properties. While Table 18 reports the summary of some
of the investigated MEE-based micro/nanoplate structures. Addition-
ally, vibrational analyses of MEE FG nanoplates utilizing the nonlocal
modified higher-order SSDT was conducted by Żur et al. [605]. Mo-
hammadimehr and Rostami [440] investigated the free and forced
vibrational behaviors of MEE nanocomposite microplate using TSDT.
Vibration analysis of MEE rectangular plate using Reddy’s TSDT was
presented by Shooshtari and Razavi [683]. Jamalpoor et al. [684]
considered theoretical free vibrational analyses of MEE microplate
on a VPM using MSGT and KPT. Waksmanski and Pan [641] pro-
posed an exact closed-form solutions for 3D vibrational response of
multi-layered sandwich MEE plate. Analysis of vibrational response of
nonlocal nanocomposite MEE microplate based on TSDT and various
volume fractions of CoFe2O4-BaTiO3 was investigated by Moham-
madimehr and Rostami [440]. Zhang et al. [685] investigated vibration
analyses of METE sandwich microplates based on SGT. Shooshtari
and Razavi [616] analytically examined the nonlinear and linear free
vibrations of symmetrically laminated MEE thin shells on an EF. It
was concluded that the electric potential and magnetic potential have
small effect on the nonlinear frequencies of these small structures (as
illustrated in Fig. 28) which is because of the small piezoelectric and

Ebrahimi et al. [564] presented a nonlocal SG plate model for
damped vibrations analyses of smart nanoplates on VPM. Hosseini
et al. [651] used a nonlocal MPT to explore the sensitivity perfor-
mance of FG-MEE nanoplate with attached nanoparticles as a nano-
sensor. Arshid et al. [656] explored the vibrations of METE FG circular
plates utilizing the FSDT. Nonlinear vibrations analyses of mass nano-
sensors with vibrating MEE nanoplate and multiple nanoparticles based
on SGT was reported by Liu et al. [686]. Qu et al. [687] proposed
microstructure-dependent anisotropic MEE plate models utilizing the
extended MCST.

a four-variable tangential–exponential RPT was proposed by Ebrahimi
et al. [644]. Talebi et al. [626] explored the MEM vibrational analysis

FSDPT. Vibrational analysis and bending analysis of circular MEE plates
based on KPT and GMT considering surface effects were reported
by Yang and Li [620]. Jafari et al. [688] examined hygrothermal
free vibrations of coupled multi-MEE nanoplates base on nonlocal
higher-order SGT and KPT. Theoretical vibrational analysis of FG METE
nanoplates in thermal environment and on a Kelvin–Voigt VPM based
on nonlocal TSDT and ENT was reported by Kiani et al. [617]. Fig. 29
shows the variations of (effects of modes on) natural frequency re-
sponses of FG METE nanoplates. It was revealed that increasing the
mode number increases the natural frequencies. Further, for a specific
mode number the temperature change has little effects in reducing
the stiffness of nanostructures, as a result temperature change vaguely
reduces the natural frequencies.

TSDT, power law distribution, HP and Navier’s solution approach.
Thai et al. [666] reported a study in the postbuckling analysis of
FG nanoplates using nonlocal Reddy’s TSDT. Ghobadi and Beni [667]
examined the nonlinear size-dependent TEM vibrations of FG flexo-
electric nanoplates under the influence of magnetic field. Karimi and
Shahidi [689] analyzed the free vibrations of MEE nanoplate under
the effects of thermal loadings and shear in-plane loadings, magnetic
potentials and electric potential by employing the RPT and GDQM.
The variations in magnetic potentials and electric potential along the
thickness direction of the structure were obtained by employing and
coupling RPT along with Maxwell equations and magnetoelectric BCs.
Governing equations of motion were obtained, and equations solved
utilizing GDQM. Effects of several parameters were extensively in-
vestigated. Based on the results, it was noted that increasing the
nonlocal parameter value, in-plane shear load, electric potential, and
temperature change enhances the surface parameters effects. Khan-
mirza et al. [690] explored the vibrations analysis of MEE-nanoplates
under the effect of an external electric voltage and magnetic potential,
resting on a VPM with additional concentrated nanoparticles, based on
ENET and KPT and HVP and Navier’s solution approach. The small-
scale effect was captured by coupling ENET and KPT. Equations of
motion of the problem were obtained utilizing the HVP, these equations
were discretized utilizing the Navier’s solution approach to find an
explicit closed-form solutions of both damped and relative-damped
frequency shift of MEE nanoplates. Furthermore, the study employed
genetic algorithm (GA) to obtain the optimal position of the added
nanoparticles. Numerical examples and parametric study were scru-
tinized to investigate the influence of various parameters. Jamalpoor
et al. [618] employed ENET to study small-scale effects on the vi-
brations of double MEE nanoplate exposed to initial external electric
and magnetic potentials employing the KPT, Hamilton’s variational
principle. The system composed of two nanoplates that are bonded with
each other using a VPM which are also limited to the external EM. The
governing equations of motion and associated BCs (including out-of-
phase, in-phase and one nanoplate fixed) of motion of the doubled-MEE
nanoplate system were solved analytically to obtain the closed-form
solution of the complex natural frequency responses. Further, effects
of several parameters were extensively elucidated. Results have shown
that taken into account the interaction between the two plates of
the double MEE nanoplates system leads to attaining higher natural
frequencies. Similarly, as illustrated in Fig. 30, increasing the nanoplate
thickness converges the frequency ratio curves anticipated by the ENET.
4.6. Graphene-based micro/nanoplate structures
Hashemi et al. [600] used nonlocal theory and investigated the free
vibration of SLGS by VPM. Pradhan and Kumar [692] investigated the
small-scale influence on the vibrations of SLGSs surrounded by an EM
using NET, principle of virtual work and DQM. Asemi et al. [693]
studied the vibrational characteristics of circular GSs subjected to
thermo-mechanical loadings. Mandal and Pradhan [694] used non-
local plate-based theory to analyze the effects of magneto-thermal
environment on transverse vibration of SLGSs-based plate structures.
Sobhy [695] used ENET to reformulate the SSDPT for vibration analysis
of the nanoplates involving SGSs on a two-parameter EF. Utilizing
NET, the vibrations responses of rectangular SLGSs were analyzed by
Sarrami-Foroushani and Azhari [619]. Based on the results obtained
(as shown in Fig. 31), nonlocal parameter value increment reduces the
natural frequency of the SLGSs.

at several positions using KPT and NET. It was observed that incre-
ment of nanoparticle mass or getting the nanoparticle closer to the
center of the plate decreases the natural frequencies of the SLGSs-based
nanoplate. Taken into account the effect of the nonlocal parameter
provides small frequency shifts. Frequency shift of SLGS is more sen-
sitive when smaller side lengths of the nanoplates are considered, and
more especially when larger mass nanoparticles are used. Vibration
analysis of orthotropic SLGSs using ENET was studied by Pradhan and

Nonlinear size-dependent vibrations analyses of graphene nanoplate

method was explored by Allahyari et al. [548]. Mao et al. [668]
considered the static and dynamic analyses of GRA composite plate
based on FSDPT and considering the effects of von Karman nonlinear,
DQM and direct iterative method. Allahyari and Asgari [709] pro-
posed an analytical approach and investigated the nonlinear vibration
analysis of circular nanoplates composed of GPLs subjected to mag-
netic field and a thermal load and resting on an external Pasternak
EM by the means of Galerkin’s method. Ribeiro and Chuaqui [710]
reported a nonlinear vibrations of SLGSs nanoplate utilizing the CPT,
Galerkin formulation, and resorting to Airy’ s stress function and
HBM. Ebrahimi et al. [625] reported a nonlinear forced analytical
vibrational study of pre-stressed SLGSs nanoplates subjected to thermo-
magnetic-mechanical loads in thermal environment by employing the
ENET and KPT and MTS method. Lastly, Table 19 reports some of the
proposed schematics of graphene-based micro/nanoplate structures and
their corresponding descriptions and mechanical properties. While Ta-
ble 20 reports the summary of some of the investigated graphene-based

4.7. Circular/annular-based micro/nanoplate structures
The schematics of most of the proposed circular and annular based
micro/nanoplates structures [719,720] are presented in Tables 21 and
22, respectively. Tables 24 and 25 report the summary of most inves-
tigated circulars and annular based micro/nanoplate structures studies
on the vibrational responses based nonclassical continuum theories of
elasticity, respectively. Moreover, Mohammadimehr et al. [580] used
MCST to explore free vibrational behaviors of annular circular plate
reinforced with FG-SWBNNTs embedded in an EF. Arshid et al. [656]
explored the vibrational analyses of METE FG circular plates utilizing
FSDT. Vibrational analysis of circular MEE plates based on KPT and
GMT considering surface effects was reported by Yang and Li [620].
It was found that the natural frequencies of circular MEE nanoplates
tend to get larger as the surface effects are taken into consideration
as depicted in Fig. 32. Further, it was concluded that these natural
frequencies are size-dependent.
Mohammadi and Department [720] investigated the free vibrations
of annular and circular SLGSs using NET and DQM. Results have shown
that the influence of the small-size reduces by reducing the radius ratio

vibrations of non-local annular and circular microplates and nanoplates
based on the MPT and ENET, taking into consideration the small-
scale effect. Sari [722] researched the vibrational response analysis of
nonlocal annular sector micro and nano Mindlin plate-based structures
using ENET. Zarei et al. [723] considered the axisymmetric free vi-
brations of a circular nanoplate having variable thickness (linearly in
radial direction) based on NET. Madani et al. [724] presented a MD
simulation based on nonlocal plate theory to investigate free vibration
analysis of annular GSs. Additionally, a study on vibrations analysis of
circular/elliptical nanoplates in an EM the utilizing MPT and Galerkin
method was presented by Anjomshoa and Tahani [725]. The implemen-
tation of DCM for nonlocal vibrational responses of annular nanoplates
based on surface-higher order nonlocal-PET and LW theory using HP
was investigated by Motezaker et al. [726]. Zarei et al. [727] examined
the vibration analyses of tapered circular nanoplate based on ENT
energy method and using differential transformation method (DTM)
and Rayleigh–Ritz method. Zarei et al. [723] explored axisymmetric
vibration analysis of circular-nanoplates considering variable thickness
based on ENT and nonclassical plates using Ritz method, and DTM.
Size-dependent analyses of flexoelectric annular nanoplate based on
FSDPT and ENET and surface PET using principle of virtual work, DQM
and iterative method was presented by Ghorbanpour-Arani et al. [728].
Hosseini-Hashemi et al. [729] investigated the free vibrational charac-
teristics of thick circular/annular FG nanoplates using MPT and ENET.
Exact closed-form vibrational responses of the nanoplates considering
several BCs were presented. Results have shown that the nonlocal
parameter has a reducing effect on the natural frequency of nanoplates,
and the effect is higher with higher mode numbers. But, taken into
account the effects of the nonlocal parameter provide lower nondimen-
sional natural frequencies. As the stiffness of the nanoplates increases,
the effect of the nonlocal parameter increases.

mechanical properties. While Table 27 reports the summary of some of
the investigated rotating-based nanoplate structures. Soni et al. [730]
studied the nonlinear analytical model for transverse vibration analysis
based on CPT cracked MEE thin plate using perturbation technique,
velocity potential function and Bernoulli’s equation. Allahyari and
Asgari [709] proposed an analytical approach and investigated the
nonlinear vibration analysis of circular nanoplates composed of GPLs
exposed to a magnetic field and a thermal load and on an external
Pasternak EM. Zaouagui et al. [621] explored the FE formulation
and vibration analyses of cracked nanoplates utilizing the ENET and
FSDT. As depicted in Fig. 33, results have shown that the nonlocal
parameter has a softening effect and thus its increment lessens the
natural frequencies.
4.9. Supplementary discussions on the results
To this end, there exists extensive literature on the vibrational
analyses of small-scaled plate-based structures including rectangular,
circular, rotating, cracked, viscoelastic, piezoelectric, and graphene
sheets micro/nanoplates-based structures. Similarly, several nonclas-
sical continuum theories and plate-based nonlocal theirs have been
proposed, employed and investigated on the vibrational characteristics
of plate-based micro/nanostructures. Based on the literature review
performed and based on some of the results obtained from numerous
studies, it was revealed that:
• Small-scale plays a significant role in the vibrational behaviors of
quadrilateral and triangular piezoelectric nanoplates.
• The nonlocality should be considered in the mechanics of small-
scaled plate structures.
• The nonlocality in vibrational analyses of plate structures in-
creases as the mode number increases.
• Nonlocal parameter has a softening effect on the frequencies of
small-scale plate structures.
• Nonlocal parameter reduces the frequency response values of the
nanoplates.
• For piezoelectric plate, increasing the temperature change de-
creases its fundamental natural frequency response.
• The nonlocality has more effect on the clamped bounds plate
structures.
• Nonlocal and surface effects have a great effect on the resonant
frequencies of piezoelectric circular-nanoplates performance.
• Increasing the aspect ratio increases the fundamental frequencies
of micro/nanoplates
• Increasing the nonlocal parameter and temperature (at constant
nonlocal parameter) provide lower frequencies.
• Increasing the volume fraction of power-law index results in re-
ducing the dimensionless frequencies of sandwich FG nanoplates.
• Increasing the two (spring parameter and shear parameter) foun-
dation parameters produces an increment in the fundamental
natural frequency response of sandwich nanoplates.
• Vibrations of viscoelastic nanoplate systems are nonstationary at
higher excitation values.
• Nonlocal parameter has damping effect on the vibrational fre-
quency response of CDVGSs nanoplates.
• Thickness-to-length ratio increment leads to linear increase on the
natural frequency response of piezoelectric FG nanoplates.
• Increasing the SG parameter related with the SGT leads to the
increase of the maximum response of the amplitude frequencies.
• Increasing the mode number increases the natural frequencies of
METE plate structures.
• Natural frequencies of circular MEE nanoplates tend to get larger
as the surface effects are taken into consideration.

• CPT coupled with first-order shear deformation theory results in
the decrease of the nondimensional natural frequencies as the
mode number increases. Similarly, nonlocal theory effect becomes
more significant as the size of the plate reduces, and thus, predicts
smaller nondimensional natural frequencies.
• FSDT coupled with nonlocal elasticity theories has more signifi-
cant effects on the nondimensional frequencies of thicker plate-
based structures.
• The value of the nonlocal parameter is independent of the mag-
nitude of the geometric variables.
• Principle of minimum potential/complementary energy cannot be
used directly for formation of quadratic functional for nonlocal
elastic nanostructures. However, the functionals can be derived
from the weak forms of the governing equations.
• The frequency of the double-orthotropic nanoplates is always
smaller than that of double-isotropic nanoplates.
• Increasing the skew angle of the nanoplates or their bound-
ary constraints reduction, increase the natural frequencies. Sim-
ilarly, aspect ratio increment reduces the natural frequency of
non-prismatic skew nanoplates.
• Irrespective of thick or thin plate, and square or rectangular
plate, the natural frequency decreases with increase of nonlocal
parameter and the gradient index.
• Taking into account the small-size effect softens the
micro/nanoplates by making it more flexible, thus, smaller and
smaller natural frequencies are obtained as the nonlocal parame-
ter value increases.
• Higher temperatures provide smaller values of nondimensional
natural frequencies.
• For SLGSs-based plate structures, the small-size reduces by reduc-
ing the radius ratio of the circular plates for all BCs. Similarly, for
all mode numbers, with increase in the radius of the nanoplates

the nondimensional frequency increases. The frequency param-
eter is less affected by the small-size effects and the small scall
is more important in higher nodal circle and nodal diameter
numbers. For circular graphene-based nanoplates surrounded in
an elastic medium, the nonlocal parameter has insignificant effect
on their nondimensional natural frequency. However, increas-
ing the shear modulus factor and Winkler elastic factor, the
nonfundamental frequency increases.
• The nonlocality effects should be considered for forced vibration
of nano-plates with length less than 20 nm.

• The nonlinear vibrational behavior of micro/nanoplate has direct
relations with its geometrical parameters. Further, the nonlinear
frequency increases as the values of the elastic medium constants,
the geometrical aspect ratios increase, but nonlinear frequency
decreases with nonlocal parameter value increment.
To deliver the current research trends in the vibration analyses of
micro/nanoplate-based structures utilizing nonclassical/nonlocal con-
tinuum theories of elasticity and nonlocal plate-based theories, we
considered several perspectives of classifications and tabulations (Ta-
bles 1 through 24) based on the following:

• Considered/investigated/proposed micro/nanoplate structure(s)
(with a special focus mainly on piezoelectric-based, viscoelastic-
based, sandwich/layered-based, FG-based, composite-based,
MEE-based, graphene-based, circular/annular-based,
cracked-based, and rotating-based micro/nanoplate based struc-
tures)
An extensive literature has been reported on the vibrations of small-
scaled based plate structures employing, proposing, investigating sev-
eral modeling techniques including nonclassical continuum theories of
elasticity. To address the future research directions, and based on the
review performed, the following could be drawn:
• In the open literature, and compared to the number of docu-
ments that are reported on free vibrations of small-scaled plate-
based structures, studies on forced vibrational characteristics of
micro/nanoplate-based structures are limited in the open liter-
ature, thus further efforts could be devoted on the forced and
damped/damping vibrational characteristics of micro/nanoplates.

• Studies on nonlinear (for free and forced and damped vibrations)
investigations of plate structures are limited.
• There exist limited/none studies on the investigations of vibra-
tional behaviors of micro/nanoplate-based structures utilizing
the Cosserat theory, PD, DH-PD, stress-driven model, NOM and
higher-order NOM.
• Extensive studies can be found on the one-dimensional vibra-
tion analyses of small-scaled structures, further effort could be
devoted on the investigations of other and higher dimensional
(including 2 and 3 dimensions) vibrations of plate-based mi-
cro/nanostructures.
• Limited studies are reported on the vibrational investigations of
circular/annular, and rotating plate-based structures.
Nonetheless, despite all these applications and recent received advances
in nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learn-
ing, and optimization techniques, and to the best of our knowledge and
based on the systematic (documents acquired from the Scopus database,
and limited to the keywords strings used) review conducted, yet there
are a-few numbers of studies reported using machine learning; and very
limited studies concerning the implementations and developments of
deep learning and optimization techniques/models.
