Abstract: In the current study, the torsional vibration of carbon nanotubes is examined using the strain gradient theory and molecular dynamic simulations. The model developed based on this gradient theory enables us to interpret ...

Abstract: This article is concerned with the development of a distributed model based on the modified strain gradient elasticity theory (MSGT), which enables us to investigate the sizedependent pullin instability of circular microplates ...

Abstract: The classical continuum theory cannot be directly used to describe the behavior of nanostructures because of their sizedependent attribute. Surface stress effect is one of the most important size dependencies of structures ...
