AbstractNew models for plane curved rods based on linear couple stress theory of elasticity have been developed.2-D theory is developed from general 2-D equations of linear couple stress elasticity using a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the middle line of the rod as well as special hypothesis based on assumptions that take into account the fact that the rod is thin. High order theory is based on the expansion of the equations of the theory of elasticity into Fourier series in terms of Legendre polynomials. First, stress and strain tensors, vectors of displacements and rotation along with body forces have been expanded into Fourier series in terms of Legendre polynomials with respect to a thickness coordinate.Thereby, all equations of elasticity including Hooke’s law have been transformed to the corresponding equations for Fourier coefficients. Then, in the same way as in the theory of elasticity, a system of differential equations in terms of displacements and boundary conditions for Fourier coefficients have been obtained. Timoshenko’s and Euler-Bernoulli theories are based on the classical hypothesis and the 2-D equations of linear couple stress theory of elasticity in a special curvilinear system. The obtained equations can be used to calculate stress-strain and to model thin walled structures in macro, micro and nano scales when taking into account couple stress and rotation effects.

This paper studies the thermoelastic damping in microbeams considering the couple stress theory with microstructure. This theory includes the microinertia effects, coming from the kinetic energy due to the velocity gradient through the differential macroelements. A Galerkin-based reduced order model and complex frequency approach have been used to determine the quality factor. For a gold microbeam as a case study, the obtained results for different ambient temperatures, beam lengths and thicknesses are compared to those obtained using the classic theory of elasticity. The comparison has been made for different values of the length scale parameter. The effects of the microinertia term on the magnitude of the thermoelastic damping have also been investigated and shown that for which conditions these effects are significant.
