“…Although a number of computer programs such as Abaqus, OpenSees, Ansys, and MSC.Marc are readily available for the structural analysis of thin-walled nanostructural members, approaches to obtain the exact solutions [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] in closed form are helpful in many situations. The matrix stiffness method (MSM) has been found to be a suitable and systematic method for such purposes [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”
