A micro-scale modeling of Kirchhoff plate based on modified strain-gradient elasticity theory
چکیده انگلیسی

A Kirchhoff micro-plate model is presented based on the modified strain gradient elasticity theory to capture size effects, in contrast with the classical plate theory. The analysis is general and can be reduced to the modified couple stress plate model or classical plate model once two or all material length scale parameters in the theory are set zero respectively. Governing equation and boundary conditions of an isotropic rectangular micro-plate are derived using minimum potential energy principle. Various boundary conditions including simply supported and clamped edges are covered by the analysis. The extended Kantorovich method (EKM) which is an accurate approximate closed-form solution is applied to solve the resulting sixth order boundary value problem. Application of EKM to the partial differential equation (PDE) yields two ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in the independent x and y coordinates. The resulted ODEs are solved in an iterative manner. Exact closed-form solutions are presented for both ODEs in all of the iteration. It is shown that the method provides accurate predictions with very fast convergence. Numerical results reveal that the differences between the deflection predicted by the modified strain gradient model, the couple stress model and the classical model are large when the plate thickness is small and comparable to the material length scale parameters. However, the differences decrease with increasing the plate thickness. Validation of the presented EKM solution shows good agreement with available literature.
