This article reviews, for the first time, the mechanical behaviour of functionally graded
structures at small-scale levels. Functionally graded nanoscale and microscale structures …

Vibration energy harvesters are emerging as a promising solution for powering small-scale
electronics, such as sensors and monitoring devices, especially in applications where …

Understanding the mechanical behaviour of nanostructures is of great importance due to
their applications in nanodevices such as in nanomechanical resonators, nanoscale mass …

In this paper, a size-dependent continuum-based model is presented for the coupled
nonlinear dynamics of extensible functionally graded (FG) microbeams with viscoelastic …

Nano and micro electro-mechanical systems (NEMS and MEMS) have been attracting a
large amount of attention recently as they have extensive current/potential applications …

Micro scale experiments demonstrated that the material deformation behaviors of some
metals and polymers deformed elasticity are size dependence, and the modified couple …

A viscoelastic axially functionally graded (FG) imperfect microbeam is considered and the
complex nonlinear dynamics is analysed for the first time. The distribution of the material …

The stress-driven nonlocal integral model of elasticity for 1D nano-structures (Romano &
Barretta, 2017a) is extended in this paper to Kirchhoff axisymmetric nano-plates. The …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become an important element in strengthening elastic
structures. Different types of CNT strengthened structures have been fabricated in the past …

This paper addresses the size-dependent free vibration of functionally graded viscoelastic
(FGV) nanobeams including the simultaneous effects of the microstructure rotation and …
