Stress-driven nonlinear behavior of curved nanobeams

A nonlocal stress-driven model for geometrically nonlinear behavior of a shallow arch under radial pressure is presented. The analytical nonlinear equilibrium equation and also buckling equations by variational principles and virtual work are found. As it has been proven before, the strain-driven models encountered some contradictions with local equilibrium conditions, while stress-driven formulation has solved these difficulties. The...
