Abstract On the basis of a theoretical study, this research incorporates an eccentricity into a system of compressed double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs). In order to formulate the stability equations, a kinematic displacement with reference to the classical beam hypothesis is utilized. Furthermore, the influence of nanoscale size is taken into account with regard to the nonlocal approach of strain gradient, and the van der Waals interaction for both inner and outer tubes is also considered based on the Lennard–Jones model. Galerkin decomposition is employed to numerically deal with the governing equations. It is evidently demonstrated that the geometrical eccentricity remarkably affects the stability threshold and its impact is to increase the static stability of DWCNTs.

This paper investigates the stochastic dynamic behaviors of nonlinear vibration of the fluid-loaded double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) by considering the effects of the geometric nonlinearity and the nonlinearity of van der Waals (vdW) force. The nonlinear governing equations of the fluid-conveying DWCNTs are formulated based on the Hamilton’s principle. The Young’s modulus of elasticity of the DWCNTs is assumed as stochastic with respect to the position to actually describe the random material properties of the DWCNTs. By utilizing the perturbation technique, the nonlinear governing equations of the fluid-conveying can be decomposed into two sets of nonlinear differential equations involving the mean value of the displacement and the first variation of the displacement separately. Then we adopt the harmonic balance method in conjunction with Galerkin’s method to solve the nonlinear differential equations successively. Some statistical dynamic response of the DWCNTs such as the mean values and standard deviations of the amplitude of the displacement are computed. It is concluded that the mean value and standard deviation of the amplitude of the displacement increase nonlinearly with the increase of the frequencies.

This paper investigates the statistical dynamic behaviors of nonlinear vibration of the fluid-loaded double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) by considering the effects of the geometric nonlinearity and the nonlinearity of van der Waals (vdW) force. Besides, the small scale effects of the nonlinear vibration of the DWCNTs are studied by using the theory of nonlocal elasticity. The nonlinear governing equations of the fluid-conveying DWCNTs are formulated based on the Hamilton's principle. The Young's modulus of elasticity of the DWCNTs is assumed as stochastic to actually describe the random material properties of the DWCNTs. By utilizing the perturbation technique, the nonlinear governing equations of the fluid-conveying can be decomposed into two sets of nonlinear differential equations involving the mean value of the displacement and the first variation of the displacement separately. Then we adopt the harmonic balance method in conjunction with Galerkin's method to solve the nonlinear differential equations successively. Some statistical dynamic response of the DWCNTs such as the mean values and standard deviations of the amplitude of the displacement are computed; meanwhile the effects of small scale coefficients on the statistical dynamic response of the DWCNTs are investigated.

In the paper, the stability of the double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) under the initial axial stress are studied. Galerkin and harmonic balance method are used to analyze the relation between the amplitudes and the frequencies of the tubes. The results show that the critical initial stress plays a significant control role in the amplitude-frequency curves. When the initial axial stress is less than the critical initial stress, DWCNTs have twice dynamical mode transitions corresponding to twice noncoaxial vibrations, however, when the initial axial stress is larger than the critical initial stress, the topological forms of the amplitude-frequency curve are changeable, which are corresponding to coaxial vibration or three possible noncoaxial vibration type.

Abstract Single-atom confinement inside carbon nanotubes has attracted much attention in many fields. This class of materials may not only serve as a catalyst but also as a support material for certain reactions. In this paper, we have studied the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), single vacancy defect (SV) and Stone-Wales defect (SW) carbon nanotubes with Fe, Co and Ni atom by both inside and outside adsorption structures in density function theory (DFT). Our results reveal that the binding abilities of atomic Fe, Co, Ni onto the internal and external surfaces of the SWCNT, SV and SW are in following orders by metals: Ni>Co>Fe. The adsorption energies of SV toward Fe, Co and Ni are more stable than those of SWCNT and SW, which can be attributed to the three active carbon sites created by a C atom removing, while the SWCNT and SW demonstrate similar adsorption energy due to the similar structure. Generally, the stability of external adsorption structures is stronger than those of internal adsorption structures, but as for the SW, the stability of internal and external adsorption structures is close, which means that the defects have improved the confinement of carbon nanotubes to M (M=Fe, Co Ni).

AbstractMulti-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been added in the plain cementitious materials to manufacture composites with the higher mechanical properties and smart behavior. The uniform distributions of MWCNTs is critical to obtain the desired enhancing effect, which, however, is challenged by the high ionic strength of the cement pore solution. Here, the effects of methylcellulose (MC) on stabilizing the dispersion of MWCNTs in the simulated cement pore solution and the viscosity of MWCNT suspensions werestudied. Further observations on the distributions of MWCNTs in the ternary cementitious composites were conducted. The results showed that MC forms a membranous envelope surrounding MWCNTs, which inhibits the adsorption of cations and maintains the steric repulsion between MWCNTs; thus, the stability of MWCNT dispersion in cement-based composites is improved. MC can also work as a viscosity adjuster that retards the Brownian mobility of MWCNTs, reducing their re-agglomerate within a period. MC with an addition ratio of 0.018 wt.% is suggested to achieve the optimum dispersion stabilizing effect. The findings here provide a way for stabilizing the other dispersed nano-additives in the cementitious composites.
