This paper discourses an overview of the recent advancements in functionally graded
materials (FGMs) research. The paper also disseminates on the key researches that are …

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 …

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 classical continuum mechanics theory is inadequate for modeling the mechanical
responses of the microstructures due to its failure to account for size effects. Instead …

This paper aims at investigating the nonlinear vibration characteristics of axially functionally
graded (AFG) shear deformable tapered beams subjected to external harmonic excitations …

This study assesses the significance of homogenisation models in theoretically analysing
the vibrations of three-layered microbeams with a core composed of axially functionally …

In this study, for the first time, a size dependent computational model based on the modified
strain gradient theory (MSGT) and higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for free …

In this paper, we study the free vibration and buckling analyses of the porous metal foam
microplates based on the isogeometric approach. Three types of porosity distribution along …

Featured by the two material length parameters in the nonlocal strain gradient theory, it is
still unknown that what are the boundary conditions of nonlocal strain gradient beams, since …

This paper presents, for the first time, a simple first-order shear deformation shell theory (S-
FSDST) for free and transient vibration analysis of composite laminated open cylindrical …
