In this article, surface stress and nonlocal effects on the biaxial and uniaxial buckling of rectangular silver nanoplates embedded in elastic media are investigated using finite difference method (FDM). The uniform temperature change is utilized to study thermal effect. The surface energy effects are taken into account using the Gurtin-Murdoch’s theory. Using the principle of virtual work, the...

resonances are intrinsic characteristics of an elastic object, which are completely independent of thesource of excitation. the appropriate utilization of the information contained within the resonancespectra and the identification of the resonance frequencies of the object can be used as a potent toolfor material characterization. in this paper, a new mathematical model for the wave diffractio...

It has been revealed that the surface stress effect plays an important role in the mechanical behavior ofstructures (such as bending, buckling and vibration) when their dimensions are on the order ofnanometer. In addition, recent advances in nanotechnology have proposed several applications fornanoscale shells in different fields. Hence, in the present article, within the framework of surfaceel...

When the characteristic length of an elastic solid is down to the nanometer level, its deformation behavior becomes size dependent. Surface energy /surface stress have recently been applied to explain such dependency. In this paper, the effect of strain-independent surface stress on the deformation of an isotropic elastic solid containing a nanosized elliptical hole is studied by the finite ele...

in order to study the effect of different water potential on anethum graveolens l. an experiment was conducted. this study was carried out based on completely randomized design with three replications. in this experiment, morpho-physiological characteristics were assessed under hydroponic. stress was established with peg 6000, and drought potentials were: 0 (control), -1.5, -2, -2.5 and -3 bar....

This paper presents a comprehensive model coupling the effects of hydrostatic stress, surface/interface stress, phase transformation and the structure of electrodes. First, the governing equation of moving phase interface with hydrostatic stress is established. Under the effect of hydrostatic stress, phase transformation process is much faster, which means phase transformation time is overestim...

This paper reveals the interaction between hydrogen and surface stress in austenitic stainless steel by X-ray diffraction stress measurement and thermal desorption analysis before and after being charged with hydrogen. The surface residual stress was varied by surface finishing using several disc polishing agents. The obtained results show that the residual stress near surface had a significant...

Piezoelectric nanobeams having circular, rectangular and hexagonal cross-sections are synthesized and used in various Nano structures; however, piezoelectric nanobeams with hexagonal cross-sections have not been studied in detail. In particular, the physical mechanisms of the surface effect and the role of surface stress, surface elasticity and surface piezoelectricity have not been discussed t...
