Size-dependent nonlinear analysis and damping responses of FG-CNTRC micro-plates (2019, background): “Introduction During the last decade, many scientists focus on studying the size or small scale effects on micro- and nano-structures, which are widely used in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) biosensors and atomic force microscopes [1-4].”
On the truth of nanoscale for nanobeams based on nonlocal elastic stress field theory: equilibrium, governing equation and static deflection (2010, result): “The conclusion was further substantiated by experiments that showed (i) much higher tensile strengths of finely structured microlaminate films than the strengths of monolithic films [44] ; (ii) significant increased hardness [38] ; and (iii) significant increased bending stiffness of a nano-cantilev”
On the origin of size effects in small-strain elasticity of solid polymers (vol 44, pg 1582, 2007) (2007, background): “…the Poisson’s ratio of epoxy as 0.4, one obtains a characteristic length of 12.6 lm,. Similar values for the bending parameter (bh = 32; 53.7 lm) have been obtained for polypropylene beams (McFarland and Colton, 2005), while for steel and aluminium thin plates bh 10 lm (Ellis and Smith, 1968).”
