A Molecular Dynamics Modeling on Cantilevered Triple-Walled Carbon Nanotube Resonators

چکیده
We introduce intertube interactions of a cantilevered triple-walled carbon-nanotube (TWCNT) resonators via classical molecular dynamics simulations. The fundamental frequencies of TWCNT resonators were less than those of singleand double-walled carbon nanotubes of a given diameter because of the increasing intertube disturbance. Our results imply that for a nanotube with a given diameter, the frequency of a multi-walled carbon nanotube resonator can be controlled by inserting or extracting small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Inelastic Continuum Modeling of Carbon Nanotube,s Behavior Using Finite Element Method
This paper describes a continuum model for analyzing the inelastic behavior of a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in different loading conditions. Because of limitations in using molecular dynamics (and other atomic methods) to model the failure load of the SWCNT, continuum mechanics methods are considered in this paper. Based on some experimental and theoretical results, an elasto-plastic...
متن کاملTransverse vibration and instability of fluid conveying triple-walled carbon nanotubes based on strain-inertia gradient theory
In this paper, the transverse vibration of a triple-walled carbon nanotube (TWCNT) conveying fluid flow is studied based on the strain/inertia gradient theory with van der Waals interaction taken into consideration. The nanotube is modelled using Euler-Bernoulli beam model and the Galerkin’s method is employed to obtain the CNT complex valued Eigen-frequencies. The effects of the fluid flow tho...
متن کاملIntrinsic energy loss mechanisms in a cantilevered carbon nanotube beam oscillator.
Classical molecular dynamics is applied to study the energy dissipation (the Q factor) of the cantilever-type beam oscillators of single wall and double-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The study finds that the Q factor of the CNT beam oscillator varies with the temperature T following the 1/T(0.36) dependence. For single wall CNT, the Q factor drops from 2 x 10(5) at 0.05 K to 1.5 x 10(3) at 29...

In this study, we have investigated radius dependence of hydrogen storage within armchair (n,n) single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in a square arrays. To this aim, we have employed equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Our simulations results reveal that radius of carbon nanotubes are an important and influent factor in hydrogen distribution inside carbon nanotubes and consequentl...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Investigation of The Elastic Constants and Moduli of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Determination of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes is an essential step in their applications from macroscopic composites to nano-electro-mechanical systems. In this paper we report the results of a series of molecular dynamics simulations carried out to predict the elastic constants, i.e. the elements of the stiffness tensor, and the elastic moduli, namely the Young’s and shear mod...
