Modelling the Size Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Micro/Nano Structures

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Amir Musa Abazari

Experiments on micro- and nano-mechanical systems (M/NEMS) have shown that their behavior under bending loads departs in many cases from the classical predictions using Euler-Bernoulli theory and Hooke's law. This anomalous response has usually been seen a ...
