In this article, the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) nanocomposites Timoshenko beam model reinforced by single-walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) using micro-mechanical approach embedded in an elastic medium is studied. The modified coupled stress (MCST) and nonlocal elasticity theories are developed to take into account the size-dependent effect. The mechani...

This study deals with the vibration and stability analysis of double-graphene nanoribbon-system (DGNRS) based on different nonlocal elasticity theories such as Eringen's nonlocal, strain gradient, and modified couple stress within the framework of Rayleigh beam theory. In this system, two graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are bonded by Pasternak medium which characterized by Winkler modulus and shear...

The present study provides data to decide on the most appropriate method for sampling of ground-dwelling arthropods measured in a moist-deciduous forest in the Western Ghats in South India. The abundance of ground-dwelling arthropods was compared among large numbers of samples obtained using pitfall trapping, Berlese and Winkler extraction methods. Highest abundance and frequency of most of the...
