Nonlinear vibration and instability of a boron nitride micro-tube (BNMT) conveying ferrofluid under the combined magnetic and electric fields are investigated. Based on Euler–Bernoulli beam (EBB), piezoelasticity strain gradient theory and Hamilton's principle, high order equations of motion are derived for three boundary conditions namely as clamped–clamped (C–C), simply–simply (S–S) and clamped–simply (C–S). The differential quadrature method (DQM) is applied to discretize the motion equations in order to obtain the nonlinear frequency and critical fluid velocity using a direct iterative method. A detailed parametric study is conducted to elucidate the influences of the various boundary conditions, size diameter and magnetic field on vibrational characteristic of BNMT. Numerical results indicate that the effect of magnetic field appears in higher speed of ferrofluid and increases the critical velocity or enlarges the stability region. The results are in good agreement with the previous researches. The results of this study can be used to manufacture smart micro/nano electromechanical systems in advanced biomechanics applications with magnetic and electric fields as parametric controllers.

In this work, the nonlocal strain gradient theory is applied to study the free vibration response of a Timoshenko beam made of triclinic material. The governing equations of the problem and the associated boundary conditions are obtained by means of the Hamiltonian principle, whereby the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is implemented as numerical tool to solve the eigenvalue problem in a discrete form. Different combinations of boundary conditions are also considered, which include simply-supports, clamped supports and free edges. Starting with some pioneering works from the literature about isotropic nanobeams, a convergence analysis is first performed, and the accuracy of the proposed size-dependent anisotropic beam model is checked. A large parametric investigation studies the effect of the nonlocal, geometry, and strain gradient parameters, together with the boundary conditions, on the vibration response of the anisotropic nanobeams, as useful for practical engineering applications.

Modified Couple Stress

In this study, the nonlinear free vibrations behaviour of nano-truncated conical shells was analysed, using the first-order shear deformable shell model. The analysis took into account the structure size through modified strain gradient theory, and differential quadrature and Fréchet derivative methods in von Kármán-Donnell-type approach to kinematic nonlinearity. The governing equations were obtained, utilizing Hamilton's principle. Partial differential equations plus the non-classical and classical boundary conditions were used to obtain the shells’ equations of motion. Discretizing the boundary conditions and equations of motion were performed based on a generalized differential quadrature analogy. The eigenvalue system was considered based on the harmonic balance technique. The Galerkin and Fréchet derivative approaches were used to determine the nonlinear free vibration behaviour of the carbon nano-cone, which was modelled in the simply- and clamped-supported boundary conditions. Comparisons were made between the findings from the new model versus the couple and classical stress theories, indicating that the classical and modified couple stress theories are distinct representations of modified strain gradient theory. The results also revealed that the degree of hardening of nano-truncated conical shells in the modified strain gradient theory is less than that of modified couple stress and classical theories. This led to a rise in the non-dimensional amplitude and frequency ratios. This study investigated the effect of size on free nonlinear vibrations of nano-truncated conical shells for various apex angles and lengths. Finally, we evaluated and compared our findings versus those reported by previous studies, which confirmed the precision and accuracy of our results.

Nonlocal Strain Gradient

In this article, a first-order shear deformable model is expanded based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory to vibration analysis of smart nanostructures under different boundary conditions. The governing equations of motion of rotating magneto-viscoelastic functionally graded cylindrical nanoshell in the magnetic field and corresponding boundary conditions are obtained using Hamilton’s principle. To discretize the equations of motion, the generalized differential quadrature method is applied. The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of the temperature changes, nonlocal parameter, material length scale, viscoelastic coefficient, various boundary conditions, and the rotational speed of this smart structure on natural frequencies of rotating cylindrical nanoshell made of magneto-viscoelastic functionally graded material.

Dynamic Simulations

In the current study, the torsional vibration of carbon nanotubes is examined using the strain gradient theory and molecular dynamic simulations. The model developed based on this gradient theory enables us to interpret size effect through introducing material length scale parameters. The model accommodates the modified couple stress and classical models when two or all material length scale parameters are set to zero, respectively. Using Hamilton's principle, the governing equation and higher-order boundary conditions of carbon nanotubes are obtained. The generalized differential quadrature method is utilized to discretize the governing differential equation of the present model along with two boundary conditions. Then, molecular dynamic simulations are performed for a series of carbon nanotubes with different aspect ratios and boundary conditions, the results of which are matched with those of the present strain gradient model to extract the appropriate value of the length scale parameter. It is found that the present model with properly calibrated value of length scale parameter has a good capability to predict the torsional vibration behavior of carbon nanotubes.

Equations Of Motions

This article discusses about vibration analysis of single-/three-layered microsandwich Timoshenko beams with porous core and graphene platelet–reinforced composite face sheets under magnetic field and elastic foundation based on the modified strain gradient theory. It is assumed that the material properties of matrix and reinforcement vary in thickness directions. Hamilton’s principle based on the energy approach is used to obtain the governing equations of motions. The equations of motions are solved using a numerical differential quadrature method for various boundary conditions. The obtained results of this study are compared with other previous research studies, and there is a good agreement between them. Moreover, the effects of different parameters such as length-to-thickness ratio, magnetic field, various distributions of graphene platelets and porous beams, and volume fractions of graphene platelets are studied on the dimensionless natural frequencies. In fact, the main idea of this work is combination of structure reinforcement with magnetic field and graphene platelets on the sandwich porous beams at microscale, and the effects of these parameters are developed on the dimensionless natural frequencies of the microbeam. The results of the present study demonstrate that applying magnetic field and increasing its intensity lead to enhance the natural frequency. Also, it is showed that graphene platelet reinforcement with one percent of weight fraction has an effective effect on the increasing dimensionless natural frequencies of the microporous beam. Thus, it can be predicted that graphene platelets can be used instead of nanotubes because they do not have the problem of nanotube accumulation and they are more economical than nanotubes.
