This paper aims to investigate the wave propagation analysis of multi-scale hybrid nanocomposite plates by considering the influences of the aggregation of the nanoparticles. For the constituent materials of the plate, a polymeric matrix is supposed to have macro- and nano-reinforcements dispersed in it. The well-known micromechanical methods, such as Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka model and the rule of the mixture, are exerted to compute the effective material properties of the nanocomposite plate. Also, a refined higher-order shear deformation theory is implemented to obtain the motion relations. Besides, the governing equations are derived by employing the principle of Hamilton. Then, the analytic method is used to solve the obtained governing equations of structure and finally wave frequency and phase velocity are calculated. The effects of the various parameters on the variation of phase velocity and wave frequency of the multi-scale nanocomposite plates are examined. The presented results demonstrate that the mechanical response of the system can be decreased, while the nanotubes are covered by clusters.
