Abstract: Based on the nonlocal theory and Mindlin plate theory, the governing equations (i.e., a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) for bending problem) of magnetoelectroelastic (MEE) nanoplates resting on the Pasternak elastic foundation are first derived by the variational principle. The polynomial particular solutions corresponding to the established model are then obtained and further employed as basis functions with the method of particular solutions (MPS) to solve the governing equations numerically. It is confirmed that for the present bending model, the new solution strategy possesses more general applicability and superior flexibility in the selection of collocation points. The effects of different boundary conditions, applied loads, and geometrical shapes on the bending properties of MEE nanoplates are evaluated by using the developed method. Some important conclusions are drawn, which should be helpful for the design and applications of electromagnetic nanoplate structures.
