In this paper, the boundary condition on free vibration of cantilever single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with Winkler elastic medium is investigated. The Euler beam theory with nonlocal elasticity is modeled as SWCNT. The analytical solution is derived and the numerical results show that the additional boundary conditions from small scale do not change natural frequencies. The reason is that the additional work made by the moment and shear force at the free end from small scale effect cancel each other, the boundary conditions due to local elasticity and nonlocal elasticity are also equivalent. Thus for simplicity, one can apply the local boundary condition to replace the small scale boundary condition.

This paper is concerned with the free vibration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with simply supported ends. Based on the non-local elasticity theory, Timoshenko beam model with the small scale effect and the van der Waals (vdW) interaction is derived and then solved analytically. The results reveal that the small scale effect is quite significant for small aspect ratios, large scale parameters and high radial vibration modes, whereas it is insensitive to the number of layers of MWCNTs and is weakly-dependent on the wall thickness of MWCNTs.

Abstract The small-scale effect and the material nonlinearity significantly impact the mechanical properties of nanobeams. However, the combined effects of two factors have not attracted the attention of researchers. In the present paper, under the displacement’s Euler-Bernoulli assumption, we proposed two new nonlocal models to describe the mechanical properties of slender nanobeams for two centroid locus conditions: the locus extensibility and the locus inextensibility. Two new theories consider both the material nonlinearity and the small-scale effect induced by the non-local effect. The new models are used to analyze the static bending and the forced vibration for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The results indicate that the stiffness’ softening effect induced by the material nonlinearity has more prominent impact than the nonlocal effect on SWCNT’s mechanical properties. Therefore, neglecting the material nonlinearity may cause qualitative mistakes.

A non-local elastic shell model is proposed for the first time in this study for considering the small-scale effect in axi-symmetric wave propagation in carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Two coupled radial and longitudinal modes, and one decoupled torsional mode, are derived from the developed non-local shell model. The small-scale effect on wave propagation is numerically studied and discussed. In addition, the cut-off frequency based on the non-local shell model is obtained, which is found to be free of the small-scale effect. It is interesting to note that only one asymptotic phase velocity exists in the CNTs using the non-local shell model, whereas two asymptotic phase velocities can be predicted using the classical or local elastic shell model. It is hoped the research presented herein can be used as a benchmark for future studies on the wave propagation of CNTs with non-local continuum models.
