Pull-in instability as an inherently nonlinear and crucial effect continues to become
increasingly important for the design of electrostatic MEMS and NEMS devices and ever …

In this paper, the cylindrical thin-shell model is developed based on modified strain gradient
theory. For this purpose, the study develops the thin shell theory, having considered size …

In this article, the functionally graded (FG) cylindrical thin shell formulation is developed by
using modified couple stress theory. The equations of motion and classical and nonclassical …

The dynamic instability of free-standing size-dependent nanowires by considering the
Casimir force and surface effects is investigated in the following research work. The study is …

Finite conductivity, size dependency and surface layer are known as crucial factors that
affect the electromechanical response and pull-in instability of micro/nano …

Position controlling with less overshoot and control effort is a fundamental issue in the
design and application of micro-actuators such as micro-positioner. Also, tracking a …

This chapter concerns the latest literature review devoted to micro/nanosize-dependent
mathematical models of beams, plates and shells. The review includes nonlocal theory of …

A size-dependent model for electrostatically actuated microbeam-based MEMS (micro-
electro-mechanical systems) with piezoelectric layers attached is developed based on a …

In this Letter, the buckling and vibration behavior of nonlocal nanowires by incorporating
surface elasticity is investigated. A modified core–shell model is developed to depict the size …

The enormous increase in the application of nano-electromechanical systems for biological
purposes, as well as modern sensors in the particle accelerators, leads to new operation …
