This study is concerned with the thermal vibration analysis of a short single-walled carbon nanotube embedded in an elastic medium based on nonlocal Timoshenko beam model. A Winkler- and Pasternak-type elastic foundation is employed to model the interaction of short carbon nanotubes and the surrounding elastic medium. Influence of all parameters such as nonlocal small-scale effects, high temperature change, Winkler modulus parameter, Pasternak shear parameter, vibration mode and aspect ratio of short carbon nanotubes on the vibration frequency are analyzed and discussed. The present study shows that for high temperature changes, the effect of Winkler constant in different nonlocal parameters on nonlocal frequency is negligible. Furthermore, for all temperatures, the nonlocal frequencies are always smaller than the local frequencies in short carbon nanotubes. In addition, for high Pasternak modulus, by increasing the aspect ratio, the nonlocal frequency decreases. It is concluded that short carbon nanotubes have the higher frequencies as compared with long carbon nanotubes.

AbstractVariational principles are derived in order to facilitate the investigation of the vibrations and stability of single and double-walled carbon nanotubes conveying a fluid, from a linear time-dependent partial differential equation governing their displacements. The nonlocal elastic theory of Euler-Bernoulli beams takes small-scale effects into account. Hamilton’s principle is obtained for double-walled nano-tubes conveying a fluid. The natural and geometric boundary conditions identified are seen to be coupled and time-dependent due to nonlocal effects.

Short carbon nanotubes of smaller aspect ratio (say, between 10 and 50) are finding significant application in nanotechnology. This paper studies vibration of such short carbon nanotubes whose higher-order resonant frequencies fall within terahertz range. Because rotary inertia and shear deformation are significant for higher-order modes of shorter elastic beams, the carbon nanotubes studied here are modeled as Timoshenko beams instead of classical Euler beams. Detailed results are demonstrated for double-wall carbon nanotubes of aspect ratio 10, 20, or 50 based on the Timoshenko-beam model and the Euler-beam model, respectively. Comparisons between different single-beam or double-beam models indicate that rotary inertia and shear deformation, accounted for by the Timoshenko-beam model, have a substantial effect on higher-order resonant frequencies and modes of double-wall carbon nanotubes of small aspect ratio (between 10 and 20). In particular, Timoshenoko-beam effects are significant for both large-diameter and small-diameter double-wall carbon nanotubes, while double-beam effects characterized by noncoaxial deflections of the inner and outer tubes are more significant for small-diameter than large-diameter double-wall carbon nanotubes. This suggests that the Timoshenko-beam model, rather than the Euler-beam model, is relevant for terahertz vibration of short carbon nanotubes.

In this paper, the vibrational behavior of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) is studied by a nonlocal elastic shell model. The nonlocal continuum model accounting for the small scale effects encompasses its classical continuum counterpart as a particular case. Based upon the constitutive equations of nonlocal elasticity, the displacement field equations coupled by van der Waals forces are derived. The set of governing equations of motion are then numerically solved by a novel method emerged from incorporating the radial point interpolation approximation within the framework of the generalized differential quadrature method. The present analysis provides the possibility of considering different combinations of layerwise boundary conditions. The influences of small scale factor, layerwise boundary conditions and geometrical parameters on the mechanical behavior of DWCNTs are fully investigated. Explicit expressions for the nonlocal frequencies of DWCNTs with all edges simply supported are also analytically obtained by a nonlocal elastic beam model. Some new intertube resonant frequencies and the corresponding noncoaxial vibrational modes are identified due to incorporating circumferential modes into the shell model. A shift in noncoaxial mode numbers, not predictable by the beam model, is also observed when the radius of DWCNTs is varied. The results generated also provide valuable information concerning the applicability of the beam model and new noncoaxial modes affecting the physical properties of nested nanotubes.

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.

AbstractThe present paper aims at studying the nonlinear ultrasonic waves in a magneto-thermo-elastic armchair single-walled (SW) carbon nanotube (CNT) with mass sensors resting on a polymer substrate. The analytical formulation accounts for small scale effects based on the Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. The mathematical model and its differential equations are solved theoretically in terms of dimensionless frequencies while assuming a nonlinear Winkler-Pasternak-type foundation. The solution is obtained by means of ultrasonic wave dispersion relations. A parametric work is carried out to check for the effect of the nonlocal scaling parameter, together with the magneto-mechanical loadings, the foundation parameters, the attached mass, boundary conditions and geometries, on the dimensionless frequency of nanotubes. The sensitivity of the mechanical response of nanotubes investigated herein, could be of great interest for design purposes in nano-engineering systems and devices.

Efficient application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in nano-devices and nano-materials requires comprehensive understanding of their mechanical properties. As observations suggest size dependent behaviour, non-classical theories preserving the memory of body’s internal structure via additional material parameters offer great potential when a continuum modelling is to be preferred. In the present study, micropolar theory of elasticity is adopted due to its peculiar character allowing for incorporation of scale effects through additional kinematic descriptors and work-conjugated stress measures. An optimisation approach is presented to provide unified material parameters for two specific class of single-walled carbon nanotubes (e.g., armchair and zigzag) by minimizing the difference between the apparent shear modulus obtained from molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and micropolar beam model considering both solid and tubular cross-sections. The results clearly reveal that micropolar theory is more suitable compared to internally constraint couple stress theory, due to the essentiality of having skew-symmetric stress and strain measures, as well as to the classical local theory (Cauchy of Grade 1), which cannot accounts for scale effects. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first time that unified material parameters of CNTs are derived through a combined MD-micropolar continuum theory.

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.

The present paper investigates the nonlocal buckling of Zigzag Triple-walled carbon nanotubes (TWCNTs) under axial compression with both chirality and small scale effects. Based on the nonlocal continuum theory and the Timoshenko beam model, the governing equations are derived and the critical buckling loads under axial compression are obtained. The TWCNTs are considered as three nanotube shells coupled through the van der Waals interaction between them. The results show that the critical buckling load can be overestimated by the local beam model if the small-scale effect is overlooked for long nanotubes. In addition, a significant dependence of the critical buckling loads on the chirality of zigzag carbon nanotube is confirmed, and these are then compared with: A single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs); and Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs). These findings are important in mechanical design considerations and reinforcement of devices that use carbon nanotubes.

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.
