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 …

Nonlocal elastic models have attracted an increasing amount of attention in the past years,
due to the promising feature of providing a viable simulation for scale effects in nano …

The Eringen nonlocal theory of elasticity formulated in differential form has been widely used
to address problems in which size effect cannot be disregarded in micro-and nano …

small-size devices. The proper understanding of the nonclassical behavior of nanostructures …

This paper addresses theoretically the bending and buckling behaviors of size-dependent
nanobeams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) including the thickness stretching …

In this paper, size dependent bending and free flexural vibration behaviors of functionally
graded (FG) nanobeams are investigated using a nonlocal quasi-3D theory in which both …

A nonlocal shear deformation beam theory is proposed for bending, buckling, and vibration
of nanobeams using the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen. The theory …

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 …

The most widely used theory in the analysis of nanostructures is Eringen's nonlocal elasticity
theory. But many researchers have mentioned that this theory has a paradox for the …
