Abstract
Based on first-order shear deformation (FSDT), the mechanical buckling of a functionally
graded nanocomposite rectangular plate reinforced by aligned and straight single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWCNTs) subjected to uniaxial and biaxial in-plane loadings is investigated. The material properties of the
nanocomposite plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction and vary continuously and
smoothly according to two types of the symmetric carbon nanotubes volume fraction profiles. The
equilibrium and stability equations are derived using the Mindlin plate theory considering the FSDT effect
and variational approach. A numerical study is performed to investigate the influences of the different types
of compressive in-plane loadings, CNTs volume fractions, various types of CNTs volume fraction profiles,
geometrical parameters and different types of estimation of effective material properties on the critical
mechanical buckling load of functionally graded nanocomposite plates.
