▎ 摘  要

Levy-type solution model is employed to demonstrate the bending response of single-layered graphene sheets subjected to a temperature field as well as external mechanical load. On the basis of Eringen's nonlocal elasticity equations incorporated with the two-variable plate theory, the governing differential equations of the thermomechanical response are derived by using the principle of virtual displacement. These equations are converted into a set of first-order linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients. The general solution of these equations can be obtained by using the state-space concept. Combinations of simply supported, clamped and free boundary conditions are considered. Comparison of the results with those being in the open literature is made. Numerical results are presented for rectangular sheets with different edge conditions, plate aspect ratios and nonlocal coefficient. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
