What is non – local elasticity?

The nonlocal theory of elasticity, the points undergo

translational motion as in the classical case, but the stress at a
point depends on the strain in a region near that point.

- Nonlocal elasticity is a type of generalized continuum theory.

- Long range interactions

Why the non-local elasticity method for nanostructures?

For the development and accurate design of nanostructures such

as carbon nanotubes and graphene based nano devices.

Simulation of nanostructures (such as MD simulation) is

computationally very expensive and time-consuming.

Can be effortlessly predicted in terms of bending, vibration,

buckling and other studies for designing nano devices (NEMS).

Concept of non-local elasticity

Incorporates distant effects, known as non-local effect.

The essence of the non-local elasticity theory is that the stress

field at a reference point in an elastic continuum depends not
only on strain at that point but also on the strain at every other
point in the domain.
