Postbuckling and Free Vibration of Multilayer Imperfect Nanobeams under a Pre-Stress Load

This paper investigates the postbuckling and free vibration response of geometrically imperfect multilayer nanobeams. The beam is assumed to be subjected to a pre-stress compressive load due to the manufacturing and its ends are kept at a fixed distance in space. The small-size effect is modeled acc...
