| Summary: | This work is devoted to the bending analysis of functionally graded (FG) nano-scale plate by using the nonlocal mixed variational formula under simply supported edge conditions. According to Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory, the mixed formula is utilized in order to obtain the governing equations. The system of equations is derived by using the principle of virtual work. The governing equations include both the small and the mechanical effects. The impact of the small-scale parameter, aspect and thickness nano-scale plate ratios, and gradient index on the displacement and stresses are explored, numerically presented, and discussed in detail. Different comparisons are made to check the precision and validity of the bending outcomes obtained from the present analysis of FG nano-scale plates. Parametric examinations are then performed to inspect the impacts of the thickness of the plate on the by and large mechanical reaction of the practically evaluated plates. The displayed outcomes are valuable for the configuration procedures of keen structures and examination from materials.
