Nonlinear thermal buckling of axially functionally graded micro and nanobeams

In this study, the nonlinear thermal buckling of axially functionally graded (AFG) Euler-Bernoulli micro/nanobeams is analyzed. The Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory is used to develop the governing equations of nanobeam and the modified couple stress theory is used to study the microbeam. The micro- and nanobeams are made of pure metal, pure ceramic and axially functionally graded material which is the composition of metal and ceramic....
