The current practice of using one-dimensional nonlocal constitutive relations for beam-type structures ignores the inherent three-dimensional interactions between atoms, leading to inaccurately predicted nonlocal structural behaviors. This study reveals and establishes how nonlocal interactions in the width and height directions of beams significantly affect the bending behaviors of nanobeams.
In the current practice, the one-dimensional nonlocal constitutive relations are always employed to model beam-type structures, regardless of the inherent three-dimensional interactions between atoms, resulting in inaccurately predicted nonlocal structural behaviors. To improve modeling, the present work first reveals and establishes how the nonlocal interactions in beams' width and height directions substantially affect the bending behaviors of nanobeams. Based on the new concept of a general three-dimensional nonlocal constitutive relation, a three-dimensional nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam model is developed for bending analysis. Closed-form solutions for the deflections of simply supported and cantilevered beams are derived. The cross-section effect on the nonlocal stress, the bending moment and the deflection is explored. Moreover, an effective calibration method is proposed for the determination of the intrinsic characteristic length based on molecular dynamics simulations. It has been found that the actually nonlocal physical dimension of beam-type structures is not in agreement with that from the one-dimensional geometric direction of classical beam mechanics, and the beams' width and height must be taken into consideration, instead of just employing the beam's length, a practice which has been somewhat blindly undertaken in the current practice without indeed much theoretical support and understanding. A beam problem at nanoscale has to be viewed and treated as a three-dimensional geometric and physical problem due to its geometric dimension in length and its physical dimensions in both the thickness and the width. When its intrinsic characteristic length is comparable to its width or thickness, a rigidity-softening effect of a beam can be observed. Further, it is established that the nonlocal effect is more sensitive in the thickness direction, as compared with the width direction.
