Recent research studies on the application of the nonlocal continuum theory in modeling of
carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets are reviewed, and substantial nonlocal continuum …

Metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) are those metal matrix composites where the
reinforcement is of nanometer dimensions, typically less than 100 nm in size. Also, it is …

This paper investigates the transverse and torsional wave in single-and double-walled
carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and DWCNTs), focusing on the effect of carbon nanotube …

In this paper, we examine the elastic and plastic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
under axial tension using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation performed in the …

Explicit formulas are derived for the van der Waals (vdW) interaction between any two layers
of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT). Based on the derived formulas, an efficient …

The vibration analysis of multilayered graphene sheets (MLGSs) using a continuum model is
reported in this paper. An explicit formula is derived to predict the van der Waals (vdW) …

A continuum-based plate model is proposed to study the vibration behavior of multi-layered
graphene sheets (MLGSs) that are embedded in an elastic matrix. A set of explicit formulas …

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 paper, we present for the first time a size-dependent model based on the modified
couple stress theory (MCST) and isogeometric analysis (IGA) for the static and free vibration …

New materials with distinctive properties are arising and attracting the scientific community
at regular intervals. Stiffness and strength are the important factors in determining stability …
