In this study, some solutions to mechanical problems of bars of nanosize are examined using Eringen’s two-phase nonlocal elasticity. Assuming the fraction coefficient of nonlocal part of the material is small, a perturbation expansion with respect to it is performed. With this procedure, the original nonlocal problem is broken into a set of local elasticity problems. Solutions to some example problems of nanobars are provided in closed-form for the first time, and commented on. The new solutions provided herein may well serve for benchmark studies, as well as identification of material parameters of nano-sized structural elements, such as carbon nanotubes.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessclosed-form solutionsnonlocal elasticityapproximate methodsnanobarsnanomechanicsArticle10.26701/ems.773106
