In the paper Pisano and Fuschi (2003) by Pisano and Fuschi addressed the closed form solution for a nonlocal elastic bar in tension. However, this ‘‘closed form solution’’ is not correct. As this paper was cited many times recently by different authors as benchmark, it is worth to make correction on it. For one dimensional nonlocal elasticity problem, the constitutive relation is written as
r0 E
¼ n1 eðxÞ þ
n2 2l

To verify this closed form solution, following integrals should be considered
Z

where e ¼ r0 =E. A closed form solution of the above equation was reported by Pisano and Fuschi (Pisano and Fuschi, 2003) as

and kl ¼ n2 =2n1 . Substituting (2) into the right hand side of (1), it is apparent that two sides of equation in (1) are not equal. It means that the closed form solution presented in Pisano and Fuschi (2003) is not correct. In addition, when n1 is taken to be zero, (1) becomes a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind as
and also can be rewritten as
eðxÞ ¼

A closed form solution of the equation above is found to be

where dðxÞ is the Delta function. Numerical solution with high accuracy (Li et al., 2013) also verified that the ‘‘closed form’’ solution in Pisano and Fuschi (2003) is not correct.
