Abstract

In this article, various higher-order shear deformation theories (HSDTs) are developed for bending and buckling behaviors of nanowires including surface stress effects. The most important assumption used in different proposed beam theories is that the deflection consists of bending and shear components and thus the theories have the potential to be utilized for modeling of the surface stress influences on nanowires problems. Numerical results are illustrated to prove the difference between the response of the nanowires predicted by the classical and non-classical solutions which depends on the magnitudes of the surface elastic constants.
