A nonlocal elasticity theory to model the static behaviour of edgecracked nanobeams.

This article discusses a nonlocal elasticity theory used to model the static behavior of edge-cracked nanobeams. It focuses on 1D nanostructures, specifically nanobeams, and proposes a formulation to analyze the mechanical behavior of edge-cracked nanobeams under mixed-mode loading. The formulation is applied to simulate experimental tests and the accuracy of the results is compared to existing data. The article also includes three case studies on the mechanical behavior of different materials, including silicon, silicon microbeams, and FeAl single crystalline material. The studies compare experimental results to analytical solutions and explore the influence of various factors on the properties of these materials. The research aims to provide insights into the performance and potential applications of these materials in different industries. [Extracted from the article]
