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.

Abstract: A global method of generalised differential quadrature is applied to solve the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the vorticity-stream-function formulation. Numerical results for the flow past a circular cylinder were obtained using just a few grid points. A good agreement is found with the experimental data.

TL;DR: The equations of motion of the Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories were reformulated using the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen [International Journal of Engineering Science 10, 1−16 (1972) as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The equations of motion of the Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories are reformulated using the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen [International Journal of Engineering Science 10, 1–16 (1972)]. The equations of motion are then used to evaluate the static bending, vibration, and buckling responses of beams with various boundary conditions. Numerical results are presented using the nonlocal theories to bring out the effect of the nonlocal behavior on deflections, buckling loads, and natural frequencies of carbon nanotubes.
