Analytical Spring-Mass Model of Impact Behavior of Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, an impact behavior of spherical striker on a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) is presented based on a three degree of freedom spring-mass model and the finite element (FE) simulations. The semi-analytical solution of the transverse impact of a striker on a DWCNT is investigated by using the elasticity nonlocal theory of Euler-Bernoulli (EBT) and Timoshenko (TBT) nanobeams. The spring-mass system with spring constant is used that involves shear and bending deformation. The van der Waals (vdW) interaction between two layers of a DWCNT is included in the analytical model. The results of this analysis are compared with the results of the FE simulation. The results from the spring-mass model demonstrated good agreement with FE simulation for various values of a DWCNT dimension, chirality, boundary condition, number of layered and also striker parameters such as mass and velocity. The DWCNT independent of vdW interaction is more flexible than DWCNT with vdW forces.

Investigation of Vibrational Behavior of Perfect and Defective Carbon Nanotubes Using Non–Linear Mass–Spring Model
In the present study, the effects of arrangement and distribution of multifarious types of defects on fundamental frequency of carbon nanotubes are investigated with respect to different chirality and boundary conditions. Interatomic interactions between each pair of carbon atoms are modeled using two types of non–linear spring–like elements. To obtain more information about the influences of d...

The examination of variation of elastic modules in single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is the aim of this paper. Full nonlinear spring-like elements are employed to simulate specific atomic structures in the commercial code ABAQUS. Carbon atoms are attached to each node as a mass point using atomic mass of carbon atoms. The influence of dimensions such as variation of length, diameter, aspect...

In this paper, the stability characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under the action of axial load are investigated. To this end, a nonlocal Flügge shell model is developed to accommodate the small length scale effects. The analytical Rayleigh-Ritz method with beam functions is applied to the variational statement derived from the Flügge-type buckling equations. Molecular dy...

full textBundles of identical double-walled carbon nanotubes.
In a sample produced by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD), the structure of the carbon nanotubes (diameter and helicity) which governs their electronic properties, is determined by electron diffraction. We found that most of the smallest bundles are constituted of identical double-walled carbon nanotubes.
full textBuckling of Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes
This paper is concerned with the buckling of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) under axial load. The DWCNTs are modelled as two cylindrical shells, one shell nested in the other and Winkler springs are introduced to connect them in order to simulate the van der Waals forces between the two nanotubes. By using the Donnell thin shell theory, we derive the governing equations for the bucklin...
