Multi-layered piezoelectric nanostructures stand as one the most promising candidates for
smart nanodevices and nanocomposites which are widely used as sensors and actuators in …

In the present work, the nonlocal integral constitutive laws for application to nano-beams,
are investigated in a general setting. Evidence of boundary effects are enlightened by …

This paper presents is a solution for static torsion in a microtube made of bi-directional
functionally graded materials (BDFGMs). The material properties are assumed to vary …
