Different from conventional materials, materials with negative Poisson's ratios expand
laterally when stretched longitudinally. Known as 'auxetic'materials, the effect means they …

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 …

In this article, size-dependent vibrations and the stability of moving viscoelastic axially
functionally graded (AFG) nanobeams were investigated numerically and analytically …

In the present work the dynamic analysis of the functionally graded rectangular nanoplates
is studied. The theory of nonlocal elasticity based on the quasi 3D high shear deformation …

The field of cantilever-based sensing emerged in the mid-1990s and is today a well-known
technology for label-free sensing which holds promise as a technique for cheap, portable …

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 …

In this work, porosity-dependent nonlinear large-amplitude oscillation responses of
rectangular microplates with and without a central square cutout made of a porous …

Applications of nanowires into future generation nanodevices require a complete
understanding of the mechanical properties of the nanowires. A great research effort has …

The Handbook of Surface and Nanometrology explains and challenges current concepts in
nanotechnology. It covers in great detail surface metrology and nanometrology and more …

We report a size dependence of Young's modulus in [0001] oriented ZnO nanowires (NWs)
with diameters ranging from 17 to 550 nm for the first time. The measured modulus for NWs …
