Vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is very essential field owing to their many promising applications in tiny instruments. The unique and interesting properties of CNTs, particularly their mechanical and electrical features, have fascinated industries and researchers to implement CNTs for production of different electromechanical devices. Research on vibration behavior of CNTs was done for a few decades ago. Vibrations of isotropic rotating zigzag and chiral single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) with ring supports are established using the Love’s shell theory. To discretize the governing equations of current model, Galerkin’s method is utilized for frequency equations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The unknown axial functions have assumed by characteristic beam functions which fulfill boundary conditions applied at the tube ends. Effects of different parameters with ring supports on the fundamental natural frequencies versus ratio of length-to-radius, angular speed and height-to-radius ratio have been investigated. The frequencies curves decrease as the length-to-diameter ratio increases. With the increase of angular speed the frequency curve of backward waves increases and forward wave decreases for rotating zigzag and chiral tubes. On the other hand, the phenomena of frequency versus height-to-radius ratio are counterpart of length-to-radius ratio for rotating boundary conditions. The frequency phenomena have been observed very pronounced with ring support. Frequency value of C-C end condition is higher than those of C-F computations. The results of single-walled carbon nanotube are computed by using MATLAB software. To validate the accuracy of present model, the results have been compared with earlier modeling/simulations.

In this study, vibrations of rotating zigzag and chiral functionally graded carbon nanotubes with ring supports have been performed. To discretize the governing equations of current model, Galerkin’s method is utilized for frequency equations of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

The dynamic free and forced axial vibrations subjected to moving exponential and harmonic axial forces of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) embedded in an elastic medium, are studied in this paper. Two different boundary conditions of SWCNT, including clamped-clamped and clamped-free, are taken into account. Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory is used to show the nonlocality for the model. The constitutive equations and their boundary conditions are derived by Hamilton’s principle. Employing the general solution, the derived equations are analytically solved to obtain two items. Firstly, the axial natural frequencies, secondly, the time-domain axial displacements at the middle of the carbon nanotube (CNT), and then the maximum axial displacements. The responses are validated with previous works, and the results demonstrates good agreement to them to verify the influence of the nonlocal parameter on the nondimensional natural frequencies for three various mode numbers. In the time-domain section, the effects of the nonlocal parameter, length, nondimensional stiffness of the elastic medium, and velocity of the moving load on the axial displacement are investigated. Also, the influences of the excitation frequency to natural frequency for the harmonic moving load, as well as the time constant for the exponential moving load on the axial displacement, are illustrated. Finally, the effect of the nonlocal parameter on the maximum axial deflection versus velocity parameter is schematically indicated.

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 present work, by considering the agglomeration effect of single-walled carbon nanotubes, free vibration characteristics of functionally graded nanocomposite sandwich sectorial plates are presented. The volume fractions of randomly oriented agglomerated single-walled carbon nanotubes are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction. To determine the effect of carbon nanotube agglomeration on the elastic properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced composites, a two-parameter micromechanical model of agglomeration is employed. In this research work, an equivalent continuum model based on the Eshelby–Mori–Tanaka approach is considered to estimate the effective constitutive law of the elastic isotropic medium (matrix) with oriented straight carbon nanotubes. The two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the equations of motion and to implement the various boundary conditions. The proposed sectorial plates are simply supported at radial edges, while all possible combinations of free, simply supported, and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two circular edges. The benefit of using the considered power-law distribution is to illustrate and present useful results arising from symmetric and asymmetric profiles. The effects of agglomeration, geometrical, and material parameters together with the boundary conditions on the frequency parameters of the sandwich functionally graded nanocomposite plates are investigated. It is shown that the natural frequencies of structure are seriously affected by the influence of carbon nanotubes agglomeration. This study serves as a benchmark for assessing the validity of numerical methods or two-dimensional theories used to analyze the sandwich sectorial plates.
