The accuracy of predicting the behaviour of structure using finite element (FE) depends
widely on the precision of the evaluation of the stiffness matrix. In the present article, an …

The demand for lightweight materials, site-specific properties, and customized features
drives the need for joining components made from dissimilar materials. However, dissimilar …

The unified gradient elasticity theory with applications to nano-mechanics of torsion is
examined. The Reissner stationary variational principle is invoked to detect the differential …

This study investigates the size-dependent free axial vibration of a nanorod made of porous
material. In this context, nonlocal elasticity theory for size dependence and Bishop rod …

The free vibration of multiple-nanobeam system is studied for various edge boundary
conditions and number of coupled nanobeams. The size effect is captured using the …

This article explores the stochastic stability of a three nanobeam system connected by Kerr
type elastic layer, subjected to the magnetic effects and compressive axial forces. While …

A review of different modeling techniques, specifically in the framework of carbon-based
nanomaterials (CNMs, including nanoparticles such as graphene and carbon nanotubes …

A motion model of adjacent rollers and a contact model between rollers and raceways were
established to improve the Archard wear model, and the automatic discrete failure …

Elastic wave propagation in аn inhomogeneous half-plane with surface elasticity effects is
studied in this paper. All three types of travelling body waves are considered, namely …

In this paper, Mindlin's first strain-gradient theory is adopted for the first time to come up with
a solution to the problem of the elastic scattering of an anti-plane time-harmonic wave …
