The present work is devoted to the free vibration analysis of elastic three-layered nano-/micro-plate with exponentially graded core and piezomagnetic face-sheets using the modified couple stress theory. To capture size-dependency for a nano-/micro-sized rectangular plate, the couple stress theory is used as a non-classical continuum theory. The rectangular elastic three-layered nano-/micro-plate is resting on Pasternak’s foundation. The present model contains one material length scale parameter and can capture the size effect. Material properties of the core are supposed to vary along the thickness direction based on the exponential function. The governing equations of motion are derived from Hamilton’s principle based on the modified couple stress theory and first-order shear deformation theory. The analytical solution is presented to solve seven governing equations of motion using Navier’s solution. Eventually the natural frequency is scrutinized for different side length ratio, thickness ratio, inhomogeneity parameter, material length scale, and parameters of foundation numerically.
