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

A new frontier of research in the area of computational nanomechanics is to study the
behavior of structures at very small length scales. As the dimensions of a structure approach …

Surface stress is one of the most considerable reasons which cause extraordinary
mechanical responses of nanomaterials and nanostructures due to the high surface to …

The deviation from the classical elastic characteristics induced by the free surface energy
can be considerable for nanostructures due to the high surface to volume ratio …

In this work, a semi-analytic solution is developed for multiple cracks and inhomogeneous
inclusions of arbitrary shape beneath a half-space surface subject to contact loading. The …

In this article, the nonlinear buckling and postbuckling response of cylindrical nanoshells
under radial compressive load is investigated on the basis of a new surface elasticity theory …

The elastic behavior of an edge dislocation, which is positioned outside of a nanoscale
elliptical inhomogeneity, is studied within the interface elasticity approach incorporating the …

The elastic behavior of a screw dislocation which is positioned inside the shell domain of an
eccentric core–shell nanowire is addressed with taking into account the surface/interface …

A non-classical model for the free vibrations of nanobeams accounting for surface stress
effects is developed in this study. Based on Gurtin–Murdoch elasticity theory, the influence of …

The nonlinear buckling of thin shell-type structures is sensitive to the initial geometric
imperfection. In this study, the imperfection sensitivity of the nonlinear instability of cylindrical …
