A microstructure-dependent Reddy beam theory (RBT) which contain only one material length scale parameter and can capture the size effect in micro-scale material unlike the classical theory is developed .using the variational principle energy the governing equation of motion is derived based on modified couple stress theory for the simply supported beam. the equations obtained are solved by Fourier series and the influence of the length scale parameter and thermal effect on static bending, vibration and buckling analysis of micro-scale Reddy beam is investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
