In previous studies, experimentally measured resonance frequencies of carbon nanotubes have been used along with classical beam theory for straight beams. However, it is found that these carbon nanotubes are not straight, and that they have some significant surface deviation associated with them. This paper deals with the nonlinear vibration analysis of a wavy single-walled carbon nanotube based mass sensor, which is doubly clamped at a source and a drain. Nonlinear oscillations of a single-walled carbon nanotube excited harmonically near its primary resonance are considered. The carbon nanotube is excited by the addition of an excitation force. The modeling is carried out using the elastic continuum beam theory concept, which involves stretching of the central plane and phenomenological damping. This model takes into account the existence of waviness in carbon nanotubes. The equation of motion involves two nonlinear terms due to the curved geometry and the stretching of the central plane. The dynamic response of the carbon nanotube based mass sensor is analyzed in the context of the time response, Poincaré maps, and fast Fourier transformation diagrams. The results show the appearance of instability and chaos in the dynamic response as the mass on carbon nanotube is changed. Period doubling and mechanism of intermittency have been observed as the routes to chaos. The appearance of regions of periodic, subharmonic, and chaotic behavior is observed to be strongly dependent on mass and the geometric imperfections of carbon nanotube. Poincaré maps and frequency spectra are used to elucidate and to illustrate the diversity of the system behavior.

The mutual result of the magnetic field and Marangoni convection against the thin liquid film of Casson fluid, blood-based carbon nanotube nanofluid has been fruitfully discussed in this article. The influence of various model constraints is focused on velocity, heat transfer, pressure distribution, skin friction and Nusselt number through graphical illustration. In addition, we witness that the thermal field of liquid raises with the growing value of [Formula: see text] and this upsurge is more in single-walled carbon nanotubes and is more dominant than multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The controlling approach of the homotopy analysis method has been used for velocity and temperature distribution. For authentication, the achieved results have been associated with the numerical (ND-Solve) method and displayed. This investigation shows that the velocity profile in the case of Casson fluid single-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid is comparatively less affected and the temperature field of single-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid dominates multi-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid.

In the studies of the dynamic response of carbon nanotubes, the stability, predictable, and unpredictable chaotic vibrations are fundamental characteristics. In this paper, we investigate the chaotic and periodic vibrations of a single-walled carbon nanotube resting on the viscoelastic foundation, based on the nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli beam model. It is assumed that the single-walled carbon nanotube is subjected to an external harmonic excitation. The axial thermomagnetic field and the surface effect on the governing equation of single-walled carbon nanotube are taken into account. We also solve the nonlinear governing equation by using the Galerkin decomposition method along with the fourth-order Rung–Kutta numerical integration scheme. Furthermore, we analyze the effects of amplitude and frequency of excitation on the formation of chaotic and periodic regions using bifurcation diagrams and largest Lyapunov exponents. Moreover, we present the phase portrait, Poincare maps, and time history to observe the periodic and chaotic responses of the system. The results show that the nonlinear dynamic response of single-walled carbon nanotube is much more sensitive to both amplitude and frequency of excitation.
