Summary: In this study, suitable surface energy-nonlocal-integral and differential models were reported for investigating the mechanical behavior of a nanosystem consisting of double parallel nanorods with defects. By evaluating nonlocal-surface energy-based modes and implementing the Galerkin method, the capabilities of capturing the natural frequencies of the defected nanosystem were revealed. The roles of nonlocality, surface energy, nanorod characteristics, defect properties, and elastic interface layer constant on free vibration were explained.

Summary: In this paper, a new generalization of classical local Neumann conditions for 2D nonlocal diffusion models is proposed. This new Neumann-type boundary formulation achieves O(δ(2)) convergence in the L-infinity(ω) norm, an optimal result compared to existing conditions. The new method is shown to ensure second-order convergence in non-convex domains as well.

Summary: This study investigates the free vibration of a multiple-nanobeam system under various edge boundary conditions and the number of coupled nanobeams. The Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory is used to take into account the size effect, and the governing equations of the coupled beams are obtained using the Timoshenko beam theory. A meshless formulation is presented to discretize the equations into a set of ordinary differential equations in the time domain. The accuracy of the results is confirmed by comparing them with available analytical results in the literature, showing good agreement. The numerical results present the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of the multiple-nanobeam system under various edge boundary conditions, and investigate the effects of parameters such as coupling stiffness, nonlocal parameters, and number of nanobeams. This method is useful for analyzing multiple-nanobeam systems with arbitrary number of nanobeams, arbitrary boundary conditions, coupling stiffness, and length to thickness ratio.

Summary: This work investigates the elastic buckling and free vibration response of functionally graded Timoshenko beams using a nonlocal strain gradient integral model. By deriving governing equations and boundary conditions via Hamilton's principle and utilizing Laplace transform technique to solve integral-differential equations, explicit expressions for bending deflections, moments, cross-sectional rotation, and shear force are obtained with eight unknown constants. The nonlinear characteristic equations for determining buckling load and vibration frequency are explicitly derived, and the results are validated against existing literature.

Summary: In this study, a torsional static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded nanotubes (FGNT) composed of two materials varying continuously along the radial direction was performed using a stress-driven nonlocal integral model. The differential governing equation, constitutive relationship, and boundary conditions were derived based on Hamilton's principle, and Laplace transformation was utilized to solve the integro-differential equations. The explicit expressions for torsional rotation and torque were determined by introducing nominal variables to simplify the equations and utilizing two boundary conditions and two extra constraints for solving the unknown constants.

Summary: The dynamics of cracked nanobeams surrounded by size-dependent Winkler-Pasternak medium were studied using two-phase local/nonlocal elasticity theory. The results showed significant changes in vibration frequencies of intact and defected nanobeams when size dependency was applied to the medium. The impact of nonlocal effects on defected nanobeams varied depending on crack characteristics. This research can provide more accurate predictions in vibration analysis of defected nanostructures embedded in two-parameter medium.

Summary: This paper investigates the nonlocal transverse vibrations of vertically aligned single-layered membranes made from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for the transportation of nanoparticles. The nanotubes are modeled using classical and shear deformable beams, while the moving nanoparticles are treated as rigid-in-contact particles with different velocities that take into account their weight force, inertia, and lags. The nonlocal equations of motion are derived considering the intertube van der Waals (vdW) forces and then solved systematically for elasto-dynamic fields. The effects of inertia, shear deformation, nonlocality, velocities, and lags of moving nanoparticles on the dynamic response of the nanosystem are explained in detail for two types of nanosystem decorations. The most critical case among various loadings, lags, and velocities of moving nanoparticles is introduced and discussed.

Summary: As a new industry based on the traditional financial system and enhanced by emerging technologies, digital finance plays a significant role in the development of microenterprises. By analyzing the Digital Inclusive Finance Index of Peking University from 2011 to 2018, this study focused on inventory optimization and incremental innovation mechanisms. The research findings demonstrate that digital financing greatly contributes to the high-quality development of enterprises. Furthermore, it was revealed that digital finance effectively corrects mismatches in scale, attribute, phase, and industry, thus addressing financing constraints and promoting deleveraging of enterprises in the economic development process. However, there are still limitations for companies with high financing constraints and leverage, and financial regulation can enhance the economic performance of digital finance. These findings provide empirical evidence and policy insights for promoting the development of digital finance, deepening the supply-side structural reform of finance, serving the real economy more effectively, and achieving high-quality economic development.

Summary: The influence of crystal size on the macroscopic parameters of sandstone samples is studied using a rock model based on the Voronoi tessellated model. It is found that decreasing crystal size results in increased strength and elastic modulus. Strain energy density (SED) is shown to help explain the failure mechanisms of the sandstone samples. A constitutive model that considers the heterogeneity in elastic modulus and rock strength is developed and is in good agreement with experimental results. The study also identifies the triggering of surface damage on slopes by vibration excitation in engineering applications as well as proposes a constitutive model for quantitatively evaluating damage accumulation in mining tunnels.

Summary: This manuscript investigates the dynamic properties of doubly-curved shell structures laminated with innovative materials using the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method. The displacement field variable follows the Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) approach, and the geometrical description of the structures is distorted by generalized isogeometric blending functions. Through non-uniform discrete computational grid, the fundamental equations derived from the Hamiltonian principle are solved in strong form. Parametric investigations show the influence of material property variation on the modal response of the structures.

Summary: This paper presents a novel numerical approach for nonlinear analysis and smart damping control in laminated functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced magneto-electro-elastic (FG-CNTMEE) plate structures, taking into account multiple physical fields. The approach employs a multi-physical coupling isogeometric formulation to accurately capture the nonlinear strain-displacement relationship and the magneto-electro-elastic coupling properties. The smart constrained layer damping treatment is applied to achieve nonlinear damped responses. The formulation is transformed into the Laplace domain and converted back to the time domain through inverse techniques for smart control using viscoelastic materials.

The results demonstrate the accuracy and capability of the SPH method in describing the rheological properties and surface variation characteristics of viscoelastic fluid flows.
