Abstract
In this study, the endurable buckling load of the elastically connected parallel sandwich nano-beams with varying cross-sections is assessed. In this regard, a layered beam system consisting of two parallel axially loaded tapered sandwich nanobeams that are interconnected via a Kerr-type three-parameter elastic foundation is considered. The geometric properties are assumed to be changed exponentially along the length of the beam element. The governing equilibrium equations of the system are described by a set of three coupled homogeneous differential equations, which originates in the context of Eringen's non-local elasticity theory and Euler beam model. Then, the numerical differential quadrature technique is used to estimate the endurable axial critical loads. Eventually, a comprehensive parameterization research is performed to investigate the sensitivity of linear buckling resistance to tapering ratio, nonlocal parameter, stiffness of elastic connections, volume fraction exponent, and thickness ratio. The research work of the present study is novel, and the attained numerical outcomes can be used as benchmarks for future researches in this field.
