Abstract: Nanoplates have been extensively utilized in the recent years for applications in nanoengineering as sensors and actuators. Due to their operative nanoscale, the mechanical behavior of such structures might also be influenced by inter-atomic material interactions. For these reasons, nonlocal models are usually introduced for studying their mechanical behavior. Sensor technology of plate structures should be formulated with coupled mechanics where elastic, magnetic and electric fields interact among themselves. In addition, the effect of hygro-thermal environments are also considered since their presence might effect the nanoplate behavior. In this work a trigonometric approach is developed for investigating smart composite nanoplates using a strain gradient nonlocal procedure. Convergence of the present method is also reported in terms of displacements and electro-magnetic potentials. Results agree well with the literature and open novel applications in this field for further developments.
