Abstract

A generalized non-local stress–strain gradient theory is presented using fractional calculus. The proposed theory includes as a special case: the classical theory; the non-local strain gradient theory; the Eringen non-local theory; the strain gradient theory; the general Eringen non-local theory; and the general strain gradient theory. This new formulation is therefore more comprehensive and more complete to model physical phenomena. Its application has been shown in free vibration, buckling and bending of simply supported (S–S) nano-beams. The non-linear governing equations have been solved by the Galerkin method. Furthermore the effects of different (additional) model parameters like: the length scale parameter; the non-local parameter; and different orders (integer and non-integer) of strain and stress gradients have been shown.
