In this paper, an analytical approach for wrinkling analysis of double nanofilms embedded in compliant substrates is presented. The governing differential equations for wrinkling of double nanofilms are derived based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory and the classical plate theory (CLPT). Substrates are regarded as elastic bodies of finite thickness and the normal pressure of substrates on the films is assumed to be linear with the lateral deformation of the films. Solutions for critical wrinkling load and wave number are computed in terms of the nonlocal parameter, the elastic properties and thickness of double nanofilms, the elastic properties and thickness of the substrates, and wrinkle modes. The parametric study shows that the dimensionless critical wave number and the dimensionless critical load decrease gradually with the increase of the nonlocal parameter. Four typical wrinkling states are studied: in-phase wrinkling, out-of-phase wrinkling, single-film wrinkling and asymmetric wrinkling. In-phase wrinkling has the highest chance to occur among four wrinkle modes. In addition, the results show that the dimensionless critical load and wave number are much smaller when the films become much stiffer and thinner than the substrates.

The present research deals with the wave dispersion behavior of a rotating functionally graded material (FGMs) nanobeam applying nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. Material properties of rotating FG nanobeam are spatially graded according to a power-law model. The governing equations as functions of axial force due to centrifugal stiffening and displacements are obtained by employing Hamilton’s principle based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. By using an analytical model, the dispersion relations of the FG nanobeam are derived by solving an eigenvalue problem. Numerical results clearly show that various parameters, such as angular velocity, gradient index, wave number and nonlocal parameter, are significantly effective to characteristics of wave propagations of rotating FG nanobeams. The results can be useful for next generation study and design of nanomachines, such as nanoturbines, nanoscale molecular bearings and nanogears, etc.

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.

The free vibration of rotating functionally graded nanobeams under different boundary conditions is studied based on nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories. The thickness-wise material gradient variation of the nanobeam is considered. By introducing a second-order axial shortening term into the displacement field, the governing equations of motion of the present new nonlocal model of rotating nanobeams are derived by the Hamilton’s principle. The nonlocal differential equations are solved through the Galerkin method. The present nonlocal models are validated through the convergence and comparison studies. Numerical results are presented to investigate the influences of the nonlocal parameter, angular velocity, material gradient variation together with slenderness ratio on the vibration of rotating FG nanobeams with different boundary conditions. Totally different from stationary nanobeams, the rotating nanobeams with relatively high angular velocity could produce larger fundamental frequencies than local counterparts. Additionally, the axial stretching-transverse bending coupled vibration is perfectly shown through the frequency loci veering and modal conversion.

In this article, a new higher order shear deformation theory based on trigonometric shear deformation theory is developed. In order to consider the size effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is used. An analytical method is adopted to solve the governing equations for static analysis of simply supported nanoplates. In the present theory, the transverse shear stresses satisfy the traction free boundary conditions of the rectangular plates and these stresses can be calculated from the constitutive equations. The effects of different parameters such as nonlocal parameter and aspect ratio are investigated on both nondimensional deflections and deflection ratios. It may be important to mention that the present formulations are general and can be used for isotropic, orthotropic and anisotropic nanoplates.

The nonlinear free vibration and frequency veering of a single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based on nonlocal elasticity theory is studied and investigated in this paper. The carbon nanotubes (CNT) is assumed to have an imperfection modeled as half sine and clamped at both ends. The Euler-Bernoulli Beam and Hamilton’s principle were used to derive the nonlinear equation of motion of the SWCNT. The effect of; nonlocal elasticity, geometric initial rise/imperfection, and the effect of the axial force induced by mid-plane stretching are accounted for in the derivation of the nonlinear mathematical model of the CNT. The governing partial differential equation includes quadratic and cubic nonlinearities due to the initial imperfection and the mid-plane stretching. The derived equation of motion is discretized using the assumed mode method by inserting the exact linear eigen mode shape. The resulting nonlinear temporal equation was solved using the method of multiple scales (MMS) to obtain results for the nonlinear natural frequencies of the first three modes of vibrations, for different values of rise/imperfection amplitude, and for different values of the nonlocal parameter. The results are presented in non-dimensional characteristic curves to show the effect of variation of rise/imperfection amplitude and nonlocal parameter on the vibrational behavior of the CNT.

AbstractA nonlocal elasticity theory is a popular growing technique for mechanical analysis of the micro- and nanoscale structures which captures the small-size effects. In this paper, a comprehensive study was carried out to investigate the influence of the nonlocal parameter on the bifurcation behavior of a capacitive clamped-clamped nano-beam in the presence of the electrostatic and centrifugal forces. By using Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory, the nonlocal equation of the dynamic motion for a nano-beam has been derived using Euler–Bernoulli beam assumptions. The governing static equation of motion has been linearized using step by step linearization method; then, a Galerkin based reduced order model have been used to solve the linearized equation. In order to study the bifurcation behavior of the nano-beam, the static non-linear equation is changed to a one degree of freedom model using a one term Galerkin weighted residual method. So, by using a direct method, the equilibrium points of the system, including stable center points, unstable saddle points and singular points have been obtained. The stability of the fixed points has been investigated drawing motion trajectories in phase portraits and basins of attraction set and repulsion have been illustrated. The obtained results have been verified using the results of the prior studies for some cases and a good agreement has been observed. Moreover, the effects of the different values of the nonlocal parameter, angular velocity and van der Waals force on the fixed points have been studied using the phase portraits of the system for different initial conditions. Also, the influence of the nonlocal beam theory and centrifugal forces on the dynamic pull-in behavior have been investigated using time histories and phase portraits for different values of the nonlocal parameter.

This paper deals with the size-dependent geometrically nonlinear free vibration of magneto-electro-thermo elastic (METE) nanoplates using the nonlocal elasticity theory. The mathematical formulation is developed based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory, von Kármán-type of kinematic nonlinearity and nonlocal elasticity theory. The influences of geometric nonlinearity, rotary inertia, transverse shear deformation, magneto-electro-thermal loading and nonlocal parameter are considered. First, the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is utilized to reduce the nonlinear partial differential equations to a system of time-dependent nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Afterwards, the numerical Galerkin method, periodic time differential operators and pseudo-arc length continuation algorithm are employed to compute the nonlinear frequency versus the amplitude for the METE nanoplates. The presented methodology enables one to describe the large-amplitude vibration characteristics of METE nanoplates with various sets of boundary conditions. A detailed parametric study is carried out to analyze the important parameters such as the nondimensional nonlocal parameter, external electric potential, external magnetic potential, temperature change, length-to-thickness ratio, aspect ratio and various edge conditions on the nonlinear free vibration characteristics of METE nanoplates. The results demonstrate that considering the size effect on the vibration response of METE nanoplate results in decreasing the natural frequency, a remarkable increasing effect on the hardening behavior and subsequently increasing the nonlinear-to-linear frequency ratio.

Abstract Nonlinear vibrations of the orthotropic nanoplates subjected to an influence of in-plane magnetic field are considered. The model is based on the nonlocal elasticity theory. The governing equations for geometrically nonlinear vibrations use the von Kármán plate theory. Both the stress formulation and the Airy stress function are employed. The influence of the magnetic field is taken into account due to the Lorentz force yielded by Maxwell's equations. The developed approach is based on applying the Bubnov–Galerkin method and reducing partial differential equations to an ordinary differential equation. The effect of the magnetic field, elastic foundation, nonlocal parameter, and plate aspect ratio on the linear frequencies and the nonlinear ratio is illustrated and discussed.

By decreasing the thickness of micro- and nano-beams, classical continuum theory is not accurate to model the static and dynamic response of them due to absence of length scale parameter. In this paper, nonlocal elasticity theory is used to detect the chaos in nano-resonator. First mode shape of nano-beam is found and Galerkin method is used to convert the governing partial differential equation to an ordinary differential equation. Melnikov method is used to determine the critical value of AC actuation voltage resulting chaotic motion. Effects of nonlocal parameter and beam thickness on stability region of resonator are investigated and it is shown that increasing the nonlocal parameter and decreasing the beam thickness increases the difference between stability regions obtained by two theories.

This paper presents a nonlocal nonlinear first-order shear deformable plate model for investigating the buckling and postbuckling of magneto-electro-thermo elastic (METE) nanoplates under magneto-electro-thermo-mechanical loadings. The nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of the first-order shear deformation plate theory along with the von Kármán-type geometrical nonlinearity is used to derive the size-dependent nonlinear governing partial differential equations and associated boundary conditions, in which the effects of shear deformation, small scale parameter and thermo-electro-magneto-mechanical loadings are incorporated. The generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method and pseudo arc-length continuation algorithm are used to determine the critical buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths of the METE nanoplates with various boundary conditions. Finally, the influences of the nonlocal parameter, boundary conditions, temperature rise, external electric voltage and external magnetic potential on the critical buckling load and postbuckling response are studied.
