This review article summarizes the advances in the surface stress effect in mechanics of
nanostructured elements, including nanoparticles, nanowires, nanobeams, and nanofilms …

Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

The underlying mechanisms of surface phenomena are very complex and still not entirely
clear. The aim of this work attempts to reveal the important contribution of the nonlocal …

Mindlin's second strain gradient continuum theory for isotropic linear elastic materials is
used to model two different kinds of size-dependent surface effects observed in the …

In the absence of external loading, surface tension will induce a residual stress field in the
bulk of nano structures. However, in the prediction of mechanical properties of nano …

Nonlinear free vibration of functionally graded nanobeams is studied in this paper within the
framework of Euler–Bernoulli beam model including the von Kármán geometric nonlinearity …

The nonlinear flexural vibrations of micro-and nanobeams in presence of surface effects are
studied within the framework of Euler–Bernoulli beam theory including the von Kármán …

The objective of this contribution is to explain the size effect in composites due to the
interfacial energy between the constituents of the underlying microstructure. The …

Recent investigations into surface-energy density of nanomaterials lead to a ripe chance to
propose, within the framework of continuum mechanics, a new theory for nanomaterials …

In the literature, it has been demonstrated that residual surface stress and surface elasticity
are two equally important parts of surface stress theory and that, generally, neither of these …
