In this article, stresses and free-vibration behaviors of annular circular piezoelectric nanocomposite plate reinforced by functionally graded single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (FG-SWBNNTs) embedded in an elastic foundation based on modified couple stress theory (MCST) are explored. The mechanical properties of FG-SWBNNT-reinforced nanocomposite plate are assumed to be graded in the direction of thickness and estimated through the micro-mechanical approach. The governing equations are obtained using the energy method. The natural frequencies and stresses of FG-SWBNNT-reinforced nanocomposite plate are computed using the differential quadrature method (DQM). An excellent agreement is observed between the obtained results and the results in the literature. Influences of the internal radius to the external radius, the thickness to the internal radius ratio, the material length scale parameter, the functionally graded parameter, temperature changes and elastic coefficients on the natural frequencies and stresses of the hollow circular nanocomposite plate are investigated. The results of this research show that the natural frequencies of the piezoelectric nanocomposite plate increase by increasing the material length scale parameter, the elastic foundation parameters, the ratio of the inner radius to the outer radius, the ratio of the thickness to the inner radius, and decreasing the power index and temperature change. The radial stress of the nanocomposite plate varies proportionally to its mode shape. The results can be employed to design smart structures in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).
