Relying on strain gradient theory, flexural microplate theory is utilized to obtain the governing equations for FG flexural microplates, which include higher-order terms. It is assumed that the material properties of FG microplates vary through the thickness according to a power law function. Also, it is supposed that the microplate is simply supported along all edges; hence, the Navier solution is used to find the deflection of the microplate. Finally, based on the obtained closed form solution, effects of length scale parameters, material properties, and dimensions on the static response of flexural microplates are investigated in detail. %8 2013-06-11
