This　article　presents　an　analytical　investigation　on　vibration　characteristics　of　rotating　graphene　nanoplatelet　(GPL)-reinforced　plates　subjected　to　rub-impact　and　thermal　shock.　The　effective　material　properties　are　assumed　to　vary　continuously　and　smoothly　along　the　thickness　direction　of　the　plate　and　are　determined　via　the　Halpin-Tsai　micromechanics　model　together　with　the　rule　of　mixture.　Considering　the　gyroscopic　effect,　the　equations　of　motion　are　derived　by　adopting　the　Hamilton＇s　principle　based　on　the　Kirchhoff＇s　plate　theory.　Then,　the　Galerkin　method　and　the　small　parameter　perturbation　method　are　utilized　to　obtain　the　free　and　forced　vibration　results　for　the　rotating　plate.　A　detailed　parametric　study　is　conducted　to　examine　the　effects　of　the　GPL　weight　fraction,　GPL　distribution　pattern,　length-to-thickness　ratio　and　length-to-width　ratio　of　GPLs,　and　the　rotating　speed　on　free　vibration　characteristics　of　the　nanocomposite　plate.　Attention　is　also　given　to　the　influences　of　the　GPL　weight　fraction,　thermal　flow,　and　friction　coefficient　on　forced　vibration　responses　of　the　plate.　The　obtained　results　can　play　a　role　in　the　design　of　a　rotating　GPL-reinforced　plate　structure　to　achieve　significantly　improved　mechanical　performance.
