▎ 摘　　要

In the present work, stability analysis of multilayered graphene sheets embedded in polymer matrix has been carried out employing continuum mechanics. Graphene sheets have been considered as continuum thin orthotropic plate. Nonlocal theory has been employed to capture the effect of structural discreteness of graphene sheets. Governing equations have been derived using the principle of virtual work. The developed governing equations have been solved for buckling loads using Navier's approach for simply supported boundary condition. Parametric study has been performed to investigate the dependence of small scale effect on various parameters. It has been shown that nonlocal effect is quite significant for some situations whereas insignificant for some situations.
