Exact analytical solutions for bending of bi-directional functionally graded nanobeams by the nonlocal beam theory using the Laplace transform

This paper presents a comprehensive analytical method to solve the fourth-order differential equation relevant to bending analysis of bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) nanobeams obtained by the Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. Unlike usual numerical solutions (e.g., by following th...
