“…The stress-driven theory leads to well-posed structural problems (Romano and Barretta, 2017b), does not exhibit paradoxical results typical of alternative nonlocal beam models (Challamel and Wang, 2008;Demir and Civalek, 2017;Fernández-Sáez et al, 2016) and, in the last few years, has gained increasing popularity for consistency, robustness and ease of implementation. Stress-driven nonlocal theory of elasticity has been applied to several problems of nanomechanics, as witnessed by recent contributions regarding buckling (Oskouie et al, 2018b;Darban et al, 2020), bending (Oskouie et al, 2018a,c;Zhang et al, 2020a;Roghani and Rouhi), axial (Barretta et al, 2019a) and torsional responses (Barretta et al, 2018) of nano-beams and elastostatic behaviour of nano-plates (Barretta et al, 2019b;Farajpour et al, 2020).…”
