Abstract:

This paper deals with dynamic Stability of single walled carbon nanotube. Strain gradient theory and Euler-Bernouli beam theory are implemented to investigate the dynamic stability of SWCNT embedded in an elastic medium. The equations of motion were derived by Hamilton principle and non-local elasticity approach. The nonlocal parameter accounts for the small-size effects when dealing with nano- size structures such as single-walled carbon nanotubes.  Influences of nonlocal effects, modulus parameter of elastic medium and aspect ratio of the SWCNT on the critical buckling loads and instability regions are analyzed. It is found that the difference between instability regions predicted by local and nonlocal beam theories is significant for nanotubes.

Transverse 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...
