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 …

The sandwich structures contain three or more layers attached to the core. In the current
research, a three-layered sandwich microplate containing functionally graded (FG) porous …

This paper investigates the small-scale effect on the linear and nonlinear vibrations of the
graphene nanoplatelet (GNPL) reinforced functionally gradient piezoelectric composite …

This paper studies the bending, buckling and free vibration analyses of functionally graded
(FG) sandwich microbeams using the third-order beam theory. The modified strain gradient …

A new non-classical third-order shear deformation model is developed for Reddy–Levinson
beams using a variational formulation based on Hamilton's principle. A modified couple …

In this paper, the size-dependent responses of functionally graded (FG) porous microbeams
using a quasi-3D theory and the modified strain gradient theory are investigated. Three …

This paper proposes a strain gradient differential quadrature finite element method to
analyze the size-dependent static and dynamic behaviour of Reddy-type micro-beams. This …

An error in the beam model proposed by Lam, Yang, Chong, Wang, & Tong (2003) for the
modified couple stress theory is found and corrected, and then the corrected model is …

In this paper, the microstructure-dependent buckling behavior of microbeams is investigated.
The material used for the microbeams is chosen as nickel. The reformulated strain gradient …
