Abstract A 3D nanocrystal with face-centered cubic lattice is considered. The crystal contains a finite number of layers along one of the directions xyz and infinite number of layers along the other two directions (nanoplate) or infinite number of layers along one direction and a finite number of layers along the other two directions (nanobar). For these models, the elastic moduli - Poisson's ratios and Young's moduli in three directions - are determined and the dependence of the values of these moduli on the dimensions of the nanocrystal is studied. It is shown that the elastic stiffness tensor of this crystal is non-symmetric. The size of the crystal in the direction along which the number of layers is finite cannot be determined uniquely, which leads to an ambiguity in determining the mechanical properties of the crystal. The dependence of the elastic moduli on the sizes of the crystal in different directions is investigated, the values of Young's moduli being shown to depend substantially on the method for determining the sizes of the nanocrystal.

The present paper is a continuation of the investigations of the influence of the scale factor on the mechanical properties of the material that have been started by the authors for a 2D strip of a monocrystal material with hexagonal close-packed lattice. In this paper, the investigation is performed for 3D model and the transition to 2D model is demonstrated. The scale effects appearing when the continuum elasticity theory is applied to nanoscale objects are estimated.
