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 …

Nano and micro electro-mechanical systems (NEMS and MEMS) have been attracting a
large amount of attention recently as they have extensive current/potential applications …

Recently, advanced materials whose properties vary within a continuous pattern have been
put to use to design and manufacture modern structures. In the current investigation, size …

Nanostructures are widely used in nano and micro-sized systems and devices such as
biosensors, nano actuators, nano-probes, and nano-electro-mechanical systems. The …

In this study, stress distribution in a functionally graded nanodisk of variable thickness is
investigated based on the strain gradient theory. It is assumed that nanodisk is subjected to …

Differential form of Eringen's nonlocal elastic theory has some inaccuracies in analyzing
small-scale structures with different boundary conditions. For this reason, Eringen's two …

In this study, general non-uniform material-varying micro-beam models under a moving
harmonic load/mass are investigated. Material variation is modeled by combining axial and …

In this paper, a comprehensive study on mechanical behavior of non-uniform small scale
beams in the framework of nonlocal strain gradient theory is presented. The governing …

This article investigates effects of axial load distribution on buckling loads and their modes of
functionally graded (FG) beams including a shear effect for the first time, since all previous …

In this study a formulation based on the meshless method is developed to study the dynamic
behavior of 2D-functionally graded nanobeams. The First order shear deformation theory is …
