Instability Characteristics of Free-Standing Nanowires Based on the Strain Gradient Theory with the Consideration of Casimir Attraction and Surface Effects

Size-dependent dynamic instability of cylindrical nanowires incorporating the effects of Casimir attraction and surface energy is presented in this research work. To develop the attractive intermolecular force between the nanowire and its substrate, the proximity force approximation (PFA) for small...
