Annotation: In this work, the bending and buckling behavior of circular, annular, and sectorial nanoplates is investigated using a combination of the nonlocal strain gradient theory and the higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The governing equations are solved using the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) or a semi-analytical method. In addition, the influence of various parameters—such as geometric configuration, elastic foundation, applied loads, sector angle, small-scale effects, and different boundary conditions—on the mechanical behavior of the nanoplates is examined.
