Static package design thorough thickness stretching and thermal environment effects for porous micro-scaled plates with piezoelectric nanocomposite patches

A static package design of a functionally graded porous plate in microscale which is coated by two polymeric piezoelectric carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (CNTRC) face sheets is provided in this study. The microstructure rests on the Pasternak foundation and is subjected to thermal load. Furthermore, face sheets are subjected to the electric field. With the aid of a quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory, governing equations of the microplate are derived and then its critical buckling loads are calculated. The properties of all layers alter continuously along with thickness direction due to the CNTs and pores distributions. The size effects are captured by the means of modified couple stress theory (MCST). By conducting the current study, the results emerged in detail to assess the effects of different parameters on buckling of structure. For instance, it is revealed that the highest and lowest critical buckling load and consequently stiffness, is due to the V–A and A–V CNTs dispersion type, respectively. Furthermore, it is revealed that by porosity coefficient enhancement, critical buckling load and consequently, stiffness are reduced dramatically. Current paper outcomes can be used in different fields of sciences such as optimum design of engineering structures or various high-tech industries as aerospace factories.
