Currently, nanotechnology is referred to be one of the attractive research sectors in several
countries because of its vast potential and commercial impact. Nanotechnology includes the …

This review comprises a detailed survey of ongoing methodologies for soft actuators,
highlighting approaches suitable for nanometer‐to centimeter‐scale robotic applications …

This research focuses on transient response of porosity-dependent viscoelastic functionally
graded nanobeams subjected to dynamic loads and magnetic field as well. The material …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) belong to a class of shape memory materials (SMMs), which
have the ability to 'memorise'or retain their previous form when subjected to certain stimulus …

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

Stimulus-responsive materials are able to response to a particular stimulus, such as, heat,
chemical, and light. As such, they are smarter and more intelligent than ordinary materials …

After being severely and quasi-plastically distorted, shape memory materials (SMMs) are
able to recover their original shape at the presence of the right stimulus. In recent years we …

In recent years micropump technology has gained considerable importance and has
become the highlighted area of research particularly for microfluidic applications. The …

In this study Timoshenko beam theory that applies the size dependent effects in functionally
graded material (FGM) beam is discussed. The material properties of FG nanobeams are …

Amid the ever-advancing landscape of industrial robotics, soft robots in particular have
attracted substantial attention due to their remarkable structural adaptability and high …
