Electrospinning is a rapidly growing polymer processing technology as it provides a viable
and simple method to create ultra-fine continuous fibers. This paper presents an in-depth …

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

Being a best known thermoelectric material and a topological insulator at ambient condition,
magic bismuth telluride (Bi 2 Te 3) under pressure transforms into several superconducting …

Surface effects often play a significant role in the physical properties of micro-and nanosized
materials and structures. In this letter, the authors presented a theoretical model directed …

We have shown in a series of recent papers that the classical theory of elasticity can be
extended to the nanoscale by supplementing the equations of elasticity for the bulk material …

We perform atomistic simulations on the fracture behavior of two typical metallic glasses,
one brittle (FeP) and the other ductile (CuZr), and show that brittle fracture in the FeP glass is …

In this paper, the dispersion characteristics of elastic waves propagating in a monolayer
piezoelectric nanoplate is investigated with consideration of the surface piezoelectricity as …

The electronic structures of Bi 2 Te 3 and Sb 2 Te 3 crystals were calculated using the first-
principles full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method. We studied not only the …

This work gives an overview of the theoretical background and of the numerical modelling
framework used to describe the mechanical properties and the response of materials on …

The elastic field of an elliptic nano inhomogeneity embedded in an infinite matrix under anti-
plane shear is studied with the complex variable method. The interface stress effects of the …
