AbstractParametric vibrations of the single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) are studied in the presented work. The equations of motion govern geometrically nonlinear oscillations. The appearance of small effects is analysed due to the application of the nonlocal elasticity theory. The approach is developed for rectangular simply supported small-scale plate and it employs the Bubnov–Galerkin method with a double mode model, which reduces the problem to investigation of the system of the second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The dynamic behaviour of the micro/nanoplate with varying excitation parameter is analysed to determine the chaotic regimes. As well the influence of small-scale effects to change the nature of vibrations is studied. The bifurcation diagrams, phase plots, Poincaré sections and the largest Lyapunov exponent are constructed and analysed. It is established that the use of nonlocal equations in the dynamic analysis of graphene sheets leads to a significant alteration in the character of oscillations, including the appearance of chaotic attractors.

AbstractIn this paper vibrations of the isotropic micro/nanoplates subjected to transverse and in-plane excitation are investigated. The governing equations of the problem are based on the von Kármán plate theory and Kirchhoff–Love hypothesis. The small-size effect is taken into account due to the nonlocal elasticity theory. The formulation of the problem is mixed and employs the Airy stress function. The two-mode approximation of the deflection and application of the Bubnov–Galerkin method reduces the governing system of equations to the system of ordinary differential equations. Varying the load parameters and the nonlocal parameter, the bifurcation analysis is performed. The bifurcations diagrams, the maximum Lyapunov exponents, phase portraits as well as Poincare maps are constructed based on the numerical simulations. It is shown that for some excitation conditions the chaotic motion may occur in the system. Also, the small-scale effects on the character of vibrating regimes are illustrated and discussed.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are capable to absorb and encapsulate some molecules to create new hybrid nano-structures providing a variety of functionally useful properties. CNTs functionalized by encapsulaitng single-stranded deoxy-ribonucleic acid (ssDNA) promise great potentials for applications in nanotechnology and nano-biotechnology. In this paper, buckling instability of ssDNA@CNT i.e. hybrid nano-structure composed of ssDNA encapsulated inside CNT has been investigated using the nonlocal elasticity theory. The nonlocal elasticity theory is capable to capture the small scale effects due to the discontinuity of nano-structures at atomic scales. The nonlocal elastic rod and shell equations are derived for modeling ssDNA and CNT respectively. Providing numerical examples, it is predicted that, ssDNA@(10,10) CNT is more resistant than the pristine (10,10) CNT against the buckling instability under radial pressure due to the inter-atomic van der Waals interactions between DNA and CNT. Furthermore, nonlocal elasticity theory predicts lower critical buckling pressure than does the local elasticity theory.

This paper introduces a novel approach for small-scale effects on nonlinear free-field vibration of a nano-disk using nonlocal elasticity theory. The formulation of a nano-disk is based on the nonlinear model of von Kármán strain in polar coordinates and classical plate theory. To analyze the nonlinear geometric and small-scale effects, the differential equation based on nonlocal elasticity theory was extracted from Hamilton principle, while the inertial and shear-stress effects were neglected. The equation of motion was discretized using the Galerkin method on selecting an appropriate function based on the boundary condition used for the nano-disk. Due to presence of nonlinear terms, the homotopy method was used in conjunction with the perturbation method (HPM) to ease up the solution and completely solve the problem. For further comparison, the nonlinear equations were solved by the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method, the solution of which was compared with that of HPM. Excellent agreements in results were observed between the two methods, indicating that the latter method can simplify the solution, and hence, can be applied to nonlinear nano-disk problems to seek their solution with a high accuracy.

In this article, the small scale effect parameter e0 of single-layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) is calibrated for the bending problem. Taking the SLGSs as a rectangular plate, the normal displacement of the simply supported plate under concentrated force was analyzed by both nonlocal elasticity theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, then the small scale effect parameter e0 of SLGSs with different size was obtained by matching the displacement of the nonlocal elasticity theory and that obtained from MD simulations. The results show that the value of e0 is not a constant but has a relationship with the size of SLGSs, and the relationship of armchair-graphene sheets and zigzag-graphene sheets is different.
