Determination of the Appropriate Gradient Elasticity Theory for Bending Analysis of Nano-beams by Considering Boundary Conditions Effect

Abstract In the present paper, a critique study on some models available in the literature for bending analysis of nano-beams using the gradient elasticity theory is accomplished. In nonlocal elasticity models of nano-beams, the size effect has not been properly considered in governing equations and...
