...Noël Challamel; Isaac Elishakoff Recently, considerable attention has been given to investigating the surface effects on nanoscale materials. These effects can be predominant for small-scale structures, such as nanobeams, nanoplates, and nanoshells. In this paper, surface elasticity effects...

...Behrouz Arash; Quan Wang Free vibration of single- and double-layered graphene sheets is investigated by employing nonlocal continuum theory and molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that the classical elastic model overestimated the resonant frequencies of the sheets by a percentage as high...

... representative volume element (RVE) with long CNTs. The CNT is modeled as a continuum hollow cylindrical shape elastic material with pinholes in it. These defects are considered on the single wall (CNTs). The mechanical properties such as Young’s modulus of elasticity are evaluated for various pinhole locations...
