To accomplish this aim, the micropolar theory is combined with the nonlocal elasticity. To consider the nonlocality, both integral (original) and differential formulations of Eringen’s nonlocal theory are considered. The beams are considered to be Timoshenko-type, and the governing equations are derived in the variational form through Hamilton’s principle. The relations are written in an appropriate matrix-vector representation that can be readily utilized in numerical approaches. A finite element (FE) approach is also proposed for the solution procedure. Parametric studies are conducted to show the simultaneous nonlocal and micropolar effects on the bending response of small-scale beams under different boundary conditions.展开更多

A nano- crystalline nano-beam is composed of three phases which are nano-grains, nano-voids, and interface. Nano-voids or porosities inside the material have a stiffness-softening impact on the nano-beam. A Eringen＇s nonlocal elasticity theory is applied in the analysis of nano-crystalline nano-beams for the first time. Residual surface stresses which are usually neglected in modeling nano-crystalline nano-beams are incorporated into nonlocal elasticity to better understand the physics of the problem. Also, a modified couple stress theory is used to capture rigid rotations of grains. Applying a differential transform method （DTM） satisfying various boundary conditions, the governing equations obtained from the Hamilton＇s principle are solved. Reliability of the proposed approach is verified by comparing the obtained results with those provided in the literature. The effects of the nonlocal parameter, surface effect, couple stress, grain size, porosities, and interface thickness on the vibration characteristics of nano-crystalline nano-beams are explored.展开更多
