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 …

Surfaces and interfaces can significantly influence the overall response of a solid body.
Their behavior is well described by continuum theories that endow the surface and interface …

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 …

The surface effect from surface stress and surface elasticity on the elastic behavior of
nanowires in static bending is incorporated into Euler− Bernoulli beam theory via the …

Silver nanowires with different diameters were synthesized by a hydrothermal chemical
method. The elastic properties of the nanowires with outer diameters ranging from 20 to 140 …

In this study, the Coriolis effects on the vibration behavior of the multilayer rotating
piezoelectric nanobeam are investigated. The governing equations are obtained using the …

In the last years, the rapid increase in the technical capability to control and design materials
at the nanoscale has pushed toward an intensive exploitation of new possibilities …

A nonlocal surface theory is proposed for interactions between surface and bulk media of
nanostructures. The nonlocal elasticity theory is generalized to account for nonlocal …

The bending response of Bernoulli-Euler nanobeams made of a functionally graded (FG)
material with different cross-sectional shapes is investigated in this manuscript by a stress …

We present atomistic simulations of the tensile and compressive loading of single crystal
face-centered cubic (FCC) nanowires with〈 100〉 and〈 110〉 orientations to study the …
