Modified couple stress-based third-order theory for nonlinear analysis of functionally graded beams

A microstructure-dependent nonlinear third-order beam theory which accounts for through-thickness power-law variation of a two-constituent material is developed using Hamilton's principle. The formulation is based on a modified couple stress theory, power-law variation of the material, and the...
