Abstract

Multi-layered small-scale structures have engrossed a great deal of attention in the past few years. Nano/micro-structures are found as multi-layered in nature which shows the importance of studying them considering the layer interactions. To this end, in this paper, a brief review on the highlighted previous investigations on modelling small-scale structures considering layer interactions is presented in the framework of dynamic analysis. The importance of correctly modelling the size-dependence mechanical formulation and layer interaction is discussed in detail for both nano and micro scale structures.
