Surface effect on free vibration behavior of circular graphene sheet with an eccentric hole

In this article, an analytical method is used to study surface and geometrical defect effects on free vibrations behavior of circular nanoplates. Due to production process and constrains conditions, nanoplates may be opposed to structural defect. Some of the defects can be modelled as an eccentric hole. Gurtin-Murdoch and thin plate theories are employed to model the eccentric circular nanoplate. In order to solve equation of motion, separation of variables method as well as additional theorem for the regular and modified of first and second kinds of Bessel functions are used. To validate the approach, present results are compared to those obtained by literature. Both of symmetric and antisymmetric vibration modes are analyzed. Some mode shapes are illustrated to make the better physical sense. Finally, effects of various geometrical and material properties on natural frequencies of the nanoplates are investigated. Also, effects of various boundary conditions as free, clamped and simply supported on the natural frequencies are investigated using a wide range of results. Results show that surface effects and eccentric circular defect play an important role in vibrational behavior of an eccentric circular nanoplate. It is observed that the free boundary condition has no more effect on the fundamental natural frequency.
