Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in an elastic medium under a longitudinal magnetic field have piqued the interest of researchers as elements utilized nanoelectro-magneto-mechanical systems (NEMMS). This work presents vibration analysis embedded SWCNTs using nonlocal second-order strain gradient elasticity theory. Considering surface effect, characteristic equation motion for SWCNT polym...

bending analysis of multilayer graphene sheets (mlgss) subjected to non-uniform shear and normal tractions is presented. the constitutive relations are considered to be non-classical based on nonlocal theory of elasticity. based on the differential transformation method, numerical illustrations are carried out for circular and annular geometries. the effects of nano scale parameter, radius of c...

In the present study, the finite element method is developed for the static analysis of nano-beams under the Winkler foundation and the uniform load. The small scale effect along with Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory is taken into account. The governing equations are derived based on the minimum potential energy principle. Galerkin weighted residual method is used to obtain the finite eleme...

in this research, the surface stress effect on the nonlocal vibration of piezoelectric square plate reinforced by single walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) based on classical plate theory (cpt) and first order shear deformation theory (fsdt) is presented. the elastic properties of piezoelectric nanocomposite plate are estimated by eshelby-mori-tanaka and the extended mixture rule approaches. the ...

A nonlocal anisotropic elastic shell model of a microtubule (MT) has been established in this paper. The proposed model exactly expresses the persistence length, the growth rate for buckling and the buckling load which include the small scale effects in a closed form. The predicted results of our model indicate that the length-dependence of the persistence length is sensitive to the small scale...

Using differential quadrature method (DQM), this study investigated pull-in instability of beam-type nano-switches under the effects of small-scale and intermolecular forces including the van der Waals (vdW) and the Casimir forces. In these nano-switches, electrostatic forces served as the driving force, and von-Karman type nonlinear strain was used to examine nonlinear geometric effects. To de...

We have studied spontaneous imbibition fronts generated by capillary rise between two roughened glass plates, the separation d of which varied between 10 and 50 microm. Perfect agreement with Washburn's law was obtained. We have determined the roughness exponent chi of the fronts, and found chi=0.81+/-0.01 for small length scales. Above a certain crossover length xi, it reached chi=0.58+/-0.04,...

The effect of central opening on the buckling and nonlinear post-buckling response of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced micro composite plate embedded in elastic medium is considered in this paper. It is assumed that the system is surrounded by elastic medium, therefore; the influence of Pasternak foundation on buckling and post-buckling behavior are analyzed. In order to derive the basic form...
