Recently, the mechanical behavior of micro-/nano-structures has sparked an ongoing
debate, which leads to a fundamental question: what steps can be taken to investigate the …

This paper presents a comprehensive review on the development of higher-order continuum
models for capturing size effects in small-scale structures. The review mainly focus on the …

Abstract Size-dependent nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam models, which
account for the through-thickness power-law variation of two-constituent functionally graded …

This article reviews, for the first time, the mechanical behaviour of functionally graded
structures at small-scale levels. Functionally graded nanoscale and microscale structures …

The nonlinear free vibration behavior of shear deformable sandwich porous beam is
investigated in this paper within the context of Timoshenko beam theory. The proposed …

A size-dependent inhomogeneous beam model, which accounts for the through-length
power-law variation of a two-constituent axially functionally graded (FG) material, is deduced …

In this study, a novel size-dependent beam model is proposed for nonlinear free vibration of
a functionally graded (FG) nanobeam with immovable ends based on the nonlocal strain …

A microstructure-dependent nonlinear Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories
which account for through-thickness power-law variation of a two-constituent material are …

This research develops a nonlocal couple stress theory to investigate static stability and free
vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams. The theory introduces two …

Static bending and free vibration of functionally graded (FG) microbeams are examined in
this paper based on the modified couple stress theory (MCST) and various higher order …
