Özet

A class of higher-order continuum theories, such as modified couple stress, nonlocal elasticity, micropolar elasticity (Cosserat theory) and strain gradient elasticity has been recently employed to the mechanical modeling of micro- and nano-sized structures. In this article, however, we address stability problem of micro-sized beam based on the strain gradient elasticity and couple stress theories, firstly. Analytical solution of stability problem for axially loaded nano-sized beams based on strain gradient elasticity and modified couple stress theories are presented. Bernoulli Euler beam theory is used for modeling. By using the variational principle, the governing equations for buckling and related boundary conditions are obtained in conjunctions with the strain gradient elasticity. Both end simply supported and cantilever boundary conditions are considered. The size effect on the critical buckling load is investigated. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
