TL;DR: In this article, a two-directional functionally graded microbeam model is developed for natural frequency and mechanical bending analysis by using NURBS-based isogeometric analysis combined with a non-classical quasi-3D beam theory (NCQ3BT).

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel and effective computational approach within the context of isogeometric analysis (IGA) is developed for analyzing size-dependent mechanical behaviors of functionally graded (FG) microbeams.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of IGA and modified couple stress theory (MCST) was used for mechanical behavior analysis of functionally graded (FG) curved microbeam structures, which can cope with simultaneous complexities in material properties and geometries of the FG curved microbeams.

TL;DR: In this article, the modified couple stress theory is integrated into the B-spline basis functions of laminated Timoshenko curved microbeams to deal with the complexities in geometries, material properties, and size effects for the design and optimization of device components in microelectromechanical systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present numerical investigations on static bending and free vibration behaviors of spatially curved functionally graded (FG) microbeam using isogeometric analysis (IGA), where small scale effects are captured using the modified couple stress theory while microbeam kinematics are described by Timoshenko beam theory.
