Abstract: In this article, a numerical solution methodology is presented to study the postbuckling configurations and free vibrations of Timoshenko beams undergoing postbuckling. The effect of geometrical imperfection is taken into ...

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 ...
