TL;DR: This review includes the last researches on bending, buckling, and vibration of nano-plates, nano-beams, nanorods, and nanotubes which were investigated by non-local elasticity theory and nonlocal strain gradient theory.
Abstract: Nanotechnology is one of the pillars of human life in the future. This technology is growing fast and many scientists work in this field. The behavior of materials in nano size varies with that in macro dimension. Therefore scientists have presented various theories for examining the behavior of materials in nano-scale. Accordingly, mechanical behavior of nano-plates, nanotubes nano-beams and nano-rodes are being investigated by Non-classical elasticity theories. This review includes the last researches on bending, buckling, and vibration of nano-plates, nano-beams, nanorods, and nanotubes which were investigated by non-local elasticity theory and nonlocal strain gradient theory. Great scholars have written valuable reviews in the field of nanomechanics. Therefore, given a large number of researches and the prevention of repetition, the articles in the past year are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of various nonlocal beam and shell theories incorporating Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory and the application of strong-and weak-form-based formulations to the current issue is presented.
Abstract: This article is intended to present an overview of various mechanical analyses of rectangular nanobeams and single-, double-, and multi-walled (SW-, DW-, and MW-) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with combinations of simply supported, free, and clamped edge conditions embedded or non-embedded in an elastic medium, including bending, free vibration, buckling, coupled thermo-elastic and hygro-thermo-elastic, dynamic instability, wave propagation, geometric nonlinear bending, and large amplitude vibration analyses. This review introduces the development of various nonlocal beam and shell theories incorporating Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory and the application of strong- and weak-form-based formulations to the current issue. Based on the principle of virtual displacements and Reissner’s mixed variational theorem, the corresponding strong- and weak-form formulations of the local Timoshenko beam theory are reformulated for the free vibration analysis of rectangular nanobeams and SW-, DW-, and MW-CNTs, and presented for illustrative purposes. A comparative study of the results obtained using assorted nonlocal beam and shell theories in combination with the analytical and numerical methods is carried out.

TL;DR: This paper provides a survey of selected topics of current research interest and aims to collate the key recent developments and international trends, as well as describe any possible future challenges.
Abstract: Dynamic instability in the mechanics of elastic structures is a fascinating topic, with many issues still unsettled. Accordingly, there is a wealth of literature examining the problems from different perspectives (analytical, numerical, experimental etc.), and coverings a wide variety of topics (bifurcations, chaos, strange attractors, imperfection sensitivity, tailor-ability, parametric resonance, conservative or non-conservative systems, linear or nonlinear systems, fluid-solid interaction, follower forces etc.). This paper provides a survey of selected topics of current research interest. It aims to collate the key recent developments and international trends, as well as describe any possible future challenges. A paradigmatic example of Ziegler's paradox on the destabilizing effect of small damping is also included.

TL;DR: In this article, the integropartial differential equations of the linear theory of nonlocal elasticity are reduced to singular partial differential equations for a special class of physically admissible kernels.
Abstract: Integropartial differential equations of the linear theory of nonlocal elasticity are reduced to singular partial differential equations for a special class of physically admissible kernels. Solutions are obtained for the screw dislocation and surface waves. Experimental observations and atomic lattice dynamics appear to support the theoretical results very nicely.

TL;DR: In this article, the indentation size effect for crystalline materials can be accurately modeled using the concept of geometrically necessary dislocations, which leads to the following characteristic form for the depth dependence of the hardness: H H 0 1+ h ∗ h where H is the hardness for a given depth of indentation, h, H 0 is a characteristic length that depends on the shape of the indenter, the shear modulus and H 0.
Abstract: We show that the indentation size effect for crystalline materials can be accurately modeled using the concept of geometrically necessary dislocations. The model leads to the following characteristic form for the depth dependence of the hardness: H H 0 1+ h ∗ h where H is the hardness for a given depth of indentation, h, H0 is the hardness in the limit of infinite depth and h ∗ is a characteristic length that depends on the shape of the indenter, the shear modulus and H0. Indentation experiments on annealed (111) copper single crystals and cold worked polycrystalline copper show that this relation is well-obeyed. We also show that this relation describes the indentation size effect observed for single crystals of silver. We use this model to derive the following law for strain gradient plasticity: ( σ σ 0 ) 2 = 1 + l χ , where σ is the effective flow stress in the presence of a gradient, σ0 is the flow stress in the absence of a gradient, χ is the effective strain gradient and l a characteristic material length scale, which is, in turn, related to the flow stress of the material in the absence of a strain gradient, l ≈ b( μ σ 0 ) 2 . For materials characterized by the power law σ 0 = σ ref e 1 n , the above law can be recast in a form with a strain-independent material length scale l. ( builtσ σ ref ) 2 = e 2 n + l χ l = b( μ σ ref ) 2 = l ( σ 0 σ ref ) 2 . This law resembles the phenomenological law developed by Fleck and Hutchinson, with their phenomenological length scale interpreted in terms of measurable material parametersbl].

Abstract: Via the vehicles of global balance laws and the second law of thermodynamics, a theory of nonlocal elasticity is presented. Constitutive equations are obtained for the nonlinear theory, first through the use of a localized Clausius-Duhem inequality and second through a variational statement of Gibbsian global thermodynamics.

Abstract: A continuum theory of nonlocal polar bodies is developed. Both the micromorphic and the non-polar continuum theories are incorporated. The balance laws and jump conditions are given. By use of nonlocal thermodynamics and invariance under rigid motions, constitutive equations are obtained for the nonlinear micromorphic elastic solids. The special case, nonpolar, nonlocal elastic solids, is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko, Reddy, and Levinson beam theories are reformulated using the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen.
Abstract: Various available beam theories, including the Euler–Bernoulli, Timoshenko, Reddy, and Levinson beam theories, are reformulated using the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen. The equations of motion of the nonlocal theories are derived, and variational statements in terms of the generalized displacements are presented. Analytical solutions of bending, vibration and buckling are presented using the nonlocal theories to bring out the effect of the nonlocal behavior on deflections, buckling loads, and natural frequencies. The theoretical development as well as numerical solutions presented herein should serve as references for nonlocal theories of beams, plates, and shells.
