The governing equations of three dimensional elasticity problems include the six Beltrami-Michell stress compatibility equations, the three differential equations of equilibrium, and the six material constitutive relations; and these are usually solved subject to the boundary conditions. The system of fifteen differential equations is usually difficult to solve, and simplified methods are usual...

in this article, finite difference method (fdm) is used to solve sixth-order derivatives of differential equations in buckling analysis of nanoplates due to coupled surface energy and non-local elasticity theories. the uniform temperature change is used to study thermal effect. the small scale and surface energy effects are added into the governing equations using eringen’s non-local elasticity...

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...

in this study, to determine poisson’s ratio and modulus of elasticity of white seedless grapes during maturation, the fresh fruit samples were harvested from a vineyard at seven sequential weeks from 6th september to 18th october. in each run, six grape berries were randomly selected and the static loading test and digital photography were done together. considering true shape of the fruit and ...

Pure bending experiments on prismatic bars of square cross-section composed of reticulated polymer foam exhibit deformation behavior not captured by classical elasticity theory. Perhaps the clearest example of this is the observed sigmoidal deformation of the bars’ lateral surfaces, which are predicted by classical elasticity theory to tilt but remain planar upon pure moment application. Such f...

fabrication, characterization and application of micro-/nano-rods/wires are among the hottest topics in materials science and applied physics. micro-/nano-rod-based structures and devices are developed for a wide-ranging use in various fields of micro-/nanoscience (e.g. biology, electronics, medicine, optics, optoelectronics, photonics and sensors). it is well known that the structure and prope...
