Abstract:
In a study of nanoscale objects it is important to consider the growing influence of the surface. A number of classical problems of elasticity for nanoscale structures is considered taking into account surface stresses. The results of analysis are compared to classical results. The effects of taking into account surface stresses on the effective stiffness of nanoporous rod and on the stability of a plate with a circular cut in tension are investigated.
