Surface and thermal load effects on the buckling of curved nanowires

This paper investigates the impact of surface energy and thermal loading on the static stability of nanowires. We model nanowires as curved fixed–fixed Euler-Bernoulli beams and use Gurtin-Murdoch model to represent surface energy. The model takes into account both von Kármán strain and axial strain...
