This paper deals with dynamic Stability of single walled carbon nanotube. Strain gradient theory and Euler-Bernouli beam theory are implemented to investigate the dynamic stability of SWCNT embedded in an elastic medium. The equations of motion were derived by Hamilton principle and non-local elasticity approach. The nonlocal parameter accounts for the small-size effects when dealing with nano-...

In this study, based on nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the first order shear deformation theory of plates (FSDT) is reformulated for vibration of nano-plates considering the initial geometric imperfection. The dynamic analog of the von Kármán nonlinear strain-displacement relations is used to derive equations of motion for the nano-plate. When dealing with nonlineariti...

The nonlocal vacuum condensates or vacuum correlators describe the distribution of quarks and gluons in the nonperturbative QCD vacuum [1]. Physically, it means that vacuum quarks and gluons can flow through the vacuum with nonzero momentum. Nonlocal condensates play an important role in hadron physics. The nonlocal properties of the vacuum condensates are of principle importance in the study o...

In this paper, a scalar peridynamic model is analyzed. The study extends earlier works in the literature on nonlocal diffusion and nonlocal peridynamic models to include a sign changing kernel. We prove the well-posedness of both variational problems with volume constraints and time-dependent equations with or without damping. The analysis is based on some nonlocal Poincaré type inequalities an...

Abstract. We develop a calculus for nonlocal operators that mimics Gauss’ theorem and the Green’s identities of the classical vector calculus. The operators we define do not involve the derivatives. We then apply the nonlocal calculus to define variational formulations of nonlocal “boundaryvalue” problems that mimic the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for second-order scalar elliptic partial dif...

In this paper, we study a new model of nonlocal geometric equations which appears in tomographic reconstruction when using the level-set method. We treat two additional difficulties which make the work original. On one hand, the level lines do not evolve along normal directions, and the nonlocal term is not of “convolution type”. On the other hand, the speed is not necessarily bounded compared ...

This paper studies relationships between the order reductions of ordinary differential equations derived by the existence of λ-symmetries, telescopic vector fields and some nonlocal symmetries obtained by embedding the equation in an auxiliary system. The results let us connect such nonlocal symmetries with approaches that had been previously introduced: the exponential vector fields and the λ-...

A pure spin current generated within a nonlocal spin valve can exert a spin-transfer torque on a nanomagnet. This nonlocal torque enables new design schemes for magnetic memory devices that do not require the application of large voltages across tunnel barriers that can suffer electrical breakdown. Here we report a quantitative measurement of this nonlocal spin torque using spin-torque-driven f...

In this paper, we investigate two types of nonlocal soliton equations with the parity-time (PT) symmetry, namely, a two dimensional nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and a coupled nonlocal Klein-Gordon equation. Solitons and periodic line waves as exact solutions of these two nonlocal equations are derived by employing the Hirota's bilinear method. Like the nonlocal NLS equation, th...

The paper deals with the problem of nonlocal generalization of constitutive models such as microplane model M4 for concrete, in which the yield limits, called stress–strain boundaries, are softening functions of the total strain. Such constitutive models call for a different nonlocal generalization than those for continuum damage mechanics, in which the total strain is reversible, or for plasti...
