Abstract
The application of higher order continuum theories, with size effect considerations, have recently been spread in the micro and nano-scale studies. One famous version of these theories is the couple stress theory. This paper utilizes this theory to study the anti-plane problem of an elliptic nano-fiber, embedded in an infinite medium, both made of centrosymmetric isotropic material. In this framework, a characteristic length appears in the formulation, by which examination of the size effect is possible. This work presents an analytical solution for the proposed problem.
