In this article, a new higher order shear deformation theory based on trigonometric shear deformation theory is developed. In order to consider the size effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is used. An analytical method is adopted to solve the governing equations for static analysis of simply supported nanoplates. In the present theory, the transverse shear stresses satisfy the traction free...

Imperfection sensitivity of large amplitude vibration of curved single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is considered in this study. The SWCNT is modeled as a Timoshenko nano-beam and its curved shape is included as an initial geometric imperfection term in the displacement field. Geometric nonlinearities of von Kármán type and nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen are employed to derive govern...

Graphene possesses excellent physical and chemical properties and has potential applications in nanobiological devices and nanoelectromechanical systems such as actuators [1], optoelectronics [2], and biosensors [3]. In addition, the vibrational properties play an important role in structural stability of nanoelectromechanical systems used in dynamic environments. In the recent years, several r...

In the present paper, the free vibration characteristics of nanobeams embedded in an elastic medium are investigated. Inclusion of size effects is considered in the analysis by incorporating Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity continuum into the classical Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. To include the surrounding elastic medium, the Pasternak elastic foundation model is utilized, including shear deforma...

Nonlinear vibration of a fluid-filled single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with simply supported ends is investigated in this paper based on Von-Karman’s geometric nonlinearity and the simplified Donnell’s shell theory. The effects of the small scales are considered by using the nonlocal theory and the Galerkin's procedure is used to discretize partial differential equations of the governing i...

The Hamilton principle is applied to deduce the free vibration frequencies of a cantilever single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in the presence of an added mass, which can be distributed along an arbitrary part of the span. The nonlocal elasticity theory by Eringen has been employed, in order to take into account the nanoscale effects. An exact formulation leads to the equations of motion, whi...
