Abstract

In this paper, we investigate stability and optimization of an axially loaded nonlocal beam that is simply supported at one end and elastically restrained against rotation on the other. Nonlocal continuum mechanics is a theoretical framework that extends classical continuum mechanics to account for the influence of small length scales, especially in nanostructures. We analyze elastically buckling nanobeam based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. The Euler method of adjacent equilibrium configuration is used to derive the nonlinear governing equations. The critical axial force and postbuckling shape are obtained for the beam with the unit cross-sectional area. The shape of the nonlocal beam stable against buckling that has minimal volume is determined by using Pontryagin’s maximum principle. The optimality conditions are derived. The cross-sectional area for optimally designed beam is found from the solution of a nonlinear boundary value problem. New numerical results are obtained. The first integral (Hamiltonian) is used to monitor the accuracy of the integration. The numerical analysis includes the influence of the characteristic parameter of the small length scale on the critical load, the postbuckling shape and the optimal shape of the analyzed beams. It is shown that there are the saving materials for optimally designed nanobeam in all numerical examples.
