Postbuckling behavior of circular nanoplates and their free vibration characteristics in the vicinity of postbuckling domain are investigated with the consideration of surface stress effect. To this end, Mindlin’s plate theory in conjunction with the Gurtin–Murdoch elasticity theory is utilized to d...
