“…The convergence study is carried out and the results are shown in Table 1 for the square nanoplates with b = 10 nm, µ = 1 nm 2 , and k p = k p b 2 D = 20 under different BCs, including the central bending deflections, It is found that only 10 terms, at most, yield the convergence to the last digit of five significant figures for the buckling and free vibration solutions in this study, but 80 and 320 terms, at most, are needed to achieve the same accuracy for the bending solutions with uniform and concentrated loads, respectively. In Table 2, the present buckling and free vibration solutions are compared with their counterparts available in the literature by molecular dynamics simulation 2,3 , Rayleigh-Ritz method 28 , and iSOV method 31 , respectively, confirming the validity of the adopted nonlocal theory and the present method. The parameters adopted are as follows 2,3,53,54 : ρ = 2250 kg/m 3 , E = 1 TPa , ν = 0.16 , and h = 0.34 nm .…”
