Abstract

The present article presents a simple nonlocal two-unknown shear and normal deformation beam theory to discuss the buckling response of nanorods. The theory uses two variables only and takes under consideration the small-scale impact as well as the inclusion of both shear and normal deformations. The equilibrium equations and end conditions are gained utilizing the principle of virtual work. Different end conditions like pinned, clamped and free are studied. The critical buckling loads are obtained for axially loaded nanorods with different end conditions. The significant of small-scale, shear and normal deformation parameters are investigated. Some validation examples are presented, and the sensitivity of all parameters on the critical and other buckling loads of nanorods may be observed.
