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...

the well-known electro-mechanical analogy that equates current, voltage, resistance, inductance and capacitance to force, velocity, damping, spring constant and mass has a shortcoming in that mass can only be used to simulate a capacitor which has one terminal connected to ground. a new model that was previously proposed by the authors that combines a mass with a pulley (mp) is shown to simulat...

In the past, the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth, g has been measured in many ways. Various methods include the use of a pendulum as well as models involving the use of a mass on a spring. We have designed a new method incorporating the mass-spring model with a capacitor, and a capacitance meter. This capacitor model still uses a hanging mass on a spring, but alters the m...

A theory is presented for retrieving the track/bridge frequencies and track modulus from an instrumented vehicle moving over a dual-beam model to simulate track-bridge system. The dual beams are connected by uniform spring-dashpot units effects of sleepers ballast, etc. Based on model, response firstly derived in closed form, along with that vehicle-track contact point. solved relate bridge fre...

This paper demonstrates the use of potential functions of molecular modeling in mass-spring systems. In mass-spring systems, force acting on each mass point is determined by the spring length between linked mass-points. In molecular modeling, forces are calculated using bond length (spring length), bond angle and stretch-bond interactions. Molecular modeling therefore provides more accurate for...
