Modeling curvature-resisting material surfaces using isogeometric analysis
Improved understanding of solid surface energy and its role in the overall mechanical properties is of great interest due to the emerging manufacturing techniques of nanostructures, coatings, and synthetic/biological bilayer-polymer hybrids. Continuum numerical modeling of surface stresses …

Size-dependent Electroelastic Properties of Piezoelectric Nanoplates
… piezoelectricity-based nanodevices. Due to large surface to volume ratio and manifest strain gradients typically present in nanostructures, surface effects and flexoelectricity are commonly believed to be responsible for the size-dependent electromechanical properties of piezoelectric …
