This paper presents a study on wave propagation in rotating functionally graded (FG) microbeams reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs). The graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) are considered to distribute in the diameter direction of the micro-beam in a gradient pattern, which leads to the functionally graded structure. By using the Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model and the rule of mixture, the effective material properties of the microbeam are determined. According to the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and nonlocal elasticity theory, the rotating microbeams are modeled. A comprehensive parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of rotating speed, GPL distribution pattern, GPL length-to-thickness ratio, GPL length-to-width ratio, and nonlocal scale on the wavenumber, phase speed and group speed of the microbeam. The research findings can play an important role on the design of rotating graphene nanoplatelet (GPL) reinforced microbeams for better structural performance.
