Ph.D. (Engg) : Wave Propagation in Small Scale Structure Modelled With Nonlocal Continuum Theory
This thesis develops analytical and computational frameworks for studying static and dynamic behaviour in nonlocal elastic structures, focusing on wave propagation, stress localization, and guided-wave phenomena at micro- and nano-scales, where size-dependent effects fall outside classical continuum mechanics. Eringen's differential nonlocal elasticity theory and higher-order continuum formulations are used to capture these small-scale interactions. The […]
