The free vibration analysis of rotating functionally graded (FG) nano-beams under an in-plane thermal loading is provided for the first time in this paper. The formulation used is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory through Hamilton’s principle and the small scale effect has been formulated using the Eringen elasticity theory. Then, they are solved by a generalized differential quadrature meth...

Elaborating on a Maxwellian representation of longitudinal wave propagation in a viscothermal fluid, a general nonlocal macroscopic theory of sound propagation in homogeneous porous media saturated with a viscothermal fluid has been recently proposed. The present paper validates this new nonlocal Maxwellian theory by showing that, in the case of the propagation in straight circular tubes, it is...

This paper investigates the transverse and torsional wave in singleand double-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and DWCNTs), focusing on the effect of carbon nanotube microstructure on wave dispersion. The SWCNTs and DWCNTs are modeled as nonlocal single and double elastic cylindrical shells. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that the wave dispersion predicted by the nonlocal elastic c...

In its original form, the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem equates two global quantities of a closed manifold, one analytic (the index of an elliptic operator) and one topological (a characteristic number). Because it relates invariants from different branches of mathematics, the Index Theorem has many applications and extensions to differential geometry, K-theory, mathematical physics, and other fi...

A two-dimensional model composite with elastic reinforcements in a crystalline matrix subject to macroscopic shear is considered using both discrete dislocation plasticity and a nonlocal continuum crystal plasticity theory. Only single slip is permitted in the matrix material. The discrete dislocation results are used as numerical experiments and we explore the extent to which the nonlocal crys...

High frequency integrable regimes in nonlocal nonlinear optics. Abstract We consider an integrable model which describes light beams propagating in nonlocal nonlinear media of Cole-Cole type. The model is derived as high frequency limit of both Maxwell equations and the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We demonstrate that for a general form of nonlinearity there exist selfguided light b...

A size-dependent Euler–Bernoulli beam model, which accounts for nonlocal stress field, strain gradient field and higher order inertia force field, is derived based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory considering velocity gradient effect. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived both in dimensional and dimensionless form by employed the Hamilton principle. The analytical so...

Image nonlocal self-similarity has been widely adopted as natural image prior in various low-level vision tasks such as image restoration, while the low-rank matrix recovery theory has been drawing much attention to describe and utilize the image nonlocal self-similarities. However, whether the low-rank prior models exist to characterize the nonlocal self-similarity for a wide range of natural ...

The nanostructures under rotation have high promising future to be used in nano-machines, nano-motors and nano-turbines. They are also one of the topics of interests and it is new in designing of rotating nano-systems. In this paper, the scale-dependent vibration analysis of a nanoplate with consideration of the axial force due to the rotation has been investigated. The governing equation and b...

Nonlocal gravity is the recent classical nonlocal generalization of Einstein’s theory of gravitation in which the past history of the gravitational field is taken into account. In this theory, nonlocality appears to simulate dark matter. The virial theorem for the Newtonian regime of nonlocal gravity theory is derived and its consequences for “isolated" astronomical systems in virial equilibriu...
