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

This review describes recent experimental developments in the study of nonlinearities for
flexural microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) structures. It includes motivation for …

This paper investigates the three-dimensional motion characteristics of perfect and imperfect
Timoshenko microbeams under mechanical and thermal forces; the mechanical properties …

The three-dimensional nonlinear mechanics and pull-in characteristics of a microplate-
based microelectromechanical system (MEMS) are investigated via a multi-degree freedom …

The pull-in voltage is crucial in designing an optimal nano/micro-electromechanical system
(N/MEMS). It is vital to have a simple formulation to calculate the pull-in voltage with …

Finite element models of microstructure-dependent geometrically nonlinear theories for
axisymmetric bending of circular plates, which accounts for through-thickness power-law …

Since the classical continuum theory is neither able to evaluate the accurate stiffness nor
able to justify the size-dependency of micro-scale structures, the non-classical continuum …

The primary objective of this paper is two-fold:(a) to formulate the governing equations of the
Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beams that account for moderate rotations (more than …

In this paper an analytical solution for size-dependent response of cantilever micro-beams is
presented. Using the modified couple stress theory, the small scale effects are accounted …

In this paper, a novel size-dependent beam model made of functionally graded materials
(FGMs) is developed based on the strain gradient elasticity theory and sinusoidal shear …
