In the current work, the nonlinear vibration of an embedded double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) aroused by nonlinear van der Waals (vdW) interaction forces from both surrounding medium and adjacent tubes is studied. Using both Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam models, the relation between deflection amplitudes and resonant frequencies of the DWCNT is derived through harmonic balance method....

Honeycombs resemble the structure of a number of natural and biological materials such as cancellous bone, wood, and cork. Thick honeycomb could be also used for energy absorption applications. Moreover, studying the mechanical behavior of honeycombs under in-plane loading could help understanding the mechanical behavior of more complex 3D tessellated structures such as porous biomaterials. In ...

In this work, we present results from atomistic simulations of gold nanowires under axial compression, with a focus on examining the effects of both axial and surface orientation effects on the buckling behavior. This was accomplished by using molecular statics simulations while considering three different crystallographic systems: h100i/{100}, h100i/{110} and h110i/{110}{100}, with aspect rati...

One of the primary mechanisms to vary one's vocal frequency is through vocal fold length changes. As stress and deformation are linked to each other, it is hypothesized that the anisotropy in the biomechanical properties of the vocal fold tissue would affect the phonation characteristics. A biomechanical model of vibrational frequency rise during vocal fold elongation is developed which combine...

Equivalent continuum stiffness properties, derived from the eigenanalysis of a single cell of a planar beam-like repetitive structure, have previously been employed within well-known dynamic theories, such as Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko for flexural vibration, suitably modified, to predict natural frequencies of vibration. Here the approach is applied to two structure types that exhibit tens...

Free vibration analysis of higher-order shear deformation beam resting on one- and two-parameter elasticfoundation is studied using differential transform method (DTM) as a part of a calculation procedure. First,the governing differential equations of beam are derived in a general form considering the shear-freeboundary conditions (zero shear stress conditions at the top and bottom of a beam). ...

in this paper, the modified euler-bernoulli beam model is presented to examine the influence of surface elasticity and residual surface tension on the critical force of axial buckling of nanotubes in the presence of rotary inertia. an explicit solution is derived for the buckling loads of microscaled euler beams considering surface effects. the size-dependent buckling behavior of the nanotube d...

Using the Padé approximation of the exponential function, we obtain recurrence relations between Apostol-Bernoulli and between Apostol-Euler polynomials. As applications, we derive some new lacunary recurrence relations for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials with gap of length 4 and lacunary relations for Bernoulli and Euler numbers with gap of length 6.

We investigate some algorithms that produce Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials. We also give closed formulas for Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials in terms of weighted Stirling numbers of the second kind, which are extensions of known formulas for Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi numbers involving Stirling numbers of the second kind.
