TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the existence of a solution of nonlocal beam elastostatic problems is an exception, the rule being non-existence for problems of applicative interest.

TL;DR: In this article, the free vibrations of nano-beams are investigated by making recourse to the novel stress-driven nonlocal integral model (SDM), which provides an effective methodology to describe nonlocal phenomena in NEMS.

TL;DR: In this article, a first gradient non-local model of bending for Timoshenko functionally graded nanobeams based on the Eringen model is proposed, where the material properties vary in the thickness direction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors prove the equivalence between the nonlocal strain gradient integral model of elasticity and the differential problem with boundary conditions and provide a viable approach to study size-dependent phenomena in nano-beams of applicative interest.

TL;DR: In this article, a consistent stress-driven nonlocal integral model for nonisothermal structural analysis of elastic nano-and microbeams is proposed, which is equivalent to an adequate set of differential equations, accompanied by higher-order constitutive boundary conditions, when the special Helmholtz averaging kernel is adopted in the convolution.
