Buckling analysis of carbon nanotubes modeled using nonlocal continuum theories
In this paper, the buckling of carbon nanotubes, modeled as nonlocal one dimensional continua within the framework of Euler–Bernoulli beams, is considered. Both a stress gradient and a strain gradient approach are considered and a variational approach is adopted to obtain the variationally consistent boundary conditions. The dependence of the buckling load on the nonlocal parameter has been det...
متن کاملCARBON NANOTUBE MECHANICS: Molecular Simulations & Continuum Models for Carbon Nanotubes
To realize the incredible structural applications potential of carbon nanotubes, it is important to characterize their material response. Molecular simulations offer advantages over physical testing due to their cost effectiveness, versatility and precision. Two continuum models for single wall nanotubes (SWNT) were previously developed based on the results from molecular simulations using two ...
متن کاملA Continuum Model For Stone-wales Defected Carbon Nanotubes
In this paper, a continuum model is proposed so that a Stone-Wales (SW) defected carbon nanotube (CNT) is replaced by an initial circumferential crack in a continuum cylindrical shell. For this purpose, the critical energy release rate and then the fracture toughness of a defected CNT are calculated using the results of an existing atomistic-based continuum finite element simulation. Finally, t...
متن کاملContinuum models of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
Molecular mechanics (MM) simulations have been carried out to determine energetically favorable double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) structures, and analyze their infinitesimal extensional, torsional, radial expansion/contraction, and bending deformations. Loads are applied either to one wall or simultaneously to both walls of an open-ended DWNT. These results are compared against single-walled...
متن کاملNonlocal Models in Continuum Mechanics
The recent appearance of nonlocal methods is examined in the light of traditional continuum mechanics. A comparison of nonlocal approaches in the fields of solid and fluid mechanics reveals that no consistent definition of a nonlocal theory has been used. We suggest a definition based on the violation of the principle of local action in continuum mechanics. From the consideration of the implica...
