The frequency equation of carbon-nanotube-based cantilever sensor with an attached mass is derived analytically using nonlocal elasticity theory. According to the equation, the relationship between the frequency shift of the sensor and the attached mass can be obtained. When the nonlocal effect is not taken into account, the variation of frequency shift with the attached mass on the sensor is c...

A nonlocal theory for thermoelastic materials with voids based on Mindlin’s strain gradient was derived in this paper some qualitative properties. We have also established the size effect of heat conduction aids extended irreversible thermodynamics and generalized free energy. The obtained system equations is a coupling three higher gradients terms due to length scale parameters ϖ l . This pose...

Free vibration characteristics of polymer composite plates reinforced by graphene nanosheets employing the Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory were investigated. Theoretical formulations are derived based on Hamilton’s principle implementing linear orthotropic constitutive equations of lamina while the behavior of nanostructure points affected by all other nonlocal points is also taken into acco...

In this article, a new higher order shear deformation theory based on trigonometric shear deformation theory is developed. In order to consider the size effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is used. An analytical method is adopted to solve the governing equations for static analysis of simply supported nanoplates. In the present theory, the transverse shear stresses satisfy the traction free...
