Forced vibration of carbon nanotubes based on the Rayleigh beam theory in conjunction with Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity is investigated. The governing equation of vibration of carbon nanotube using the above theories is developed. The carbon nanotube is rested on a nonlinear Winkler and Pasternak foundation with the simply-supported boundary conditions. The Gelerkin procedure is utilized to find the nonlinear ordinary differential equation of vibration of system. The differential equation is solved using the multiple scales method in order to investigate the primary resonance of the considered system. The frequency response of the system is obtained and the effects of different parameters, such as the surface effect, position and magnitude of applied force and Pasternak and Winkler foundation, on the vibration behavior of the system are studied. The sensitivity of the amplitude of oscillation of carbon nanotube is depicted with respect to the surface effect. It is shown that the surface effect plays an important role in the forced vibration of the nano-scale structure.

Conveying Fluid

In this study, the nonlinear vibration of a curved carbon nanotube conveying fluid is analyzed. The nanotube is assumed to be covered by a piezoelectric layer and the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is employed to establish the governing equations of motion. The influence of carbon nanotube curvature on structural modeling and fluid velocity vector is considered and the slip boundary conditions of CNT conveying fluid are included. The mathematical modeling of the structure is developed using Hamilton’s principle and then, the Galerkin procedure is employed to discretize the equation of motion. Furthermore, the frequency response of the system is extracted by applying the multiple scales method of perturbation. Finally, a comprehensive study is carried out on the primary resonance and piezoelectric-based parametric resonance of the system. It is shown that consideration of nanotube curvature may lead to an increase in nonlinearity. Implementing the fluid velocity vector in which nanotube curvature is included highly affects the maximum amplitude of the response and should not be ignored. Furthermore, different system parameters have evident impacts on the behavior of the system and therefore, selecting the reasonable geometrical and physical parameters of the system can be very useful to achieve a favorable response.

Nonlinear forced vibration of the nonlocal curved carbon nanotubes is investigated. The governing equation of vibration of a nonlocal curved carbon nanotube is developed. The nonlinear Winkler and Pasternak type foundations are chosen for the nanotube resonator system. Furthermore, the shape of the carbon nanotube system is assumed to be of a sinusoidal curvature form and different types of the boundary conditions are postulated for the targeted system. The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory in conjunction with the Eringen theory are implemented to obtain the partial differential equation of the system. The Galerkin method is applied to obtain the nonlinear ordinary differential equations of the system. For the sake of obtaining the primary resonance of the considered system the multiple time scales method is utilized. The influences of different parameters, namely, the position of the applied force, different forms of boundary condition, amplitude of curvature, and the coefficient of the Pasternak foundation, on the frequency response of the system were fully investigated.

The Galerkin Method

Nonlinear forced vibration of carbon nanotubes is investigated. The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory in conjunction with Eringen’s theory is considered and the thermal effect is incorporated into the formulation of the governing equation. The Winkler model is assumed for the foundation of carbon nanotube and the Galerkin method is performed to find the nonlinear ordinary differential equation of system based on the assumed boundary conditions. The multiple times scale is applied to investigate the forced vibration of carbon nanotubes. The effect of different parameters, namely, temperature variations and carbon nanotube length changes on the amplitude of oscillation of carbon nanotube are studied. It is found that the linear natural frequency of system increases by increasing the temperature and subsequently, the oscillation amplitude will decrease.

Abstract This paper deals with the frequency-amplitude response of primary resonance of electrostatically actuated Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (DWCNT) and Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) cantilever resonators. Their responses are compared. Both the DWCNT and SWCNT are modeled as Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beams. Electrostatic and damping forces are applied on both types of resonators. An AC voltage provides a soft electrostatic actuation. For the DWCNT, intertube van der Waals forces are present between the carbon nanotubes, coupling the deflections of the tubes and acting as a nonlinear spring between the two carbon nanotubes. Electrostatic (for SWCNT and DWCNT) and intertube van der Waals (for DWCNT) forces are nonlinear. Both resonators undergo nonlinear parametric excitation. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) is used to investigate the systems under soft excitations and weak nonlinearities. A 2-Term Reduced-Order-Model (ROM) is numerically solved for stability analysis using AUTO-07P, a continuation and bifurcation software. The coaxial vibrations of DWCNT are considered in this work, in order to draw comparisons between DWCNT and SWCNT. Effects of damping and voltage of the frequency-amplitude response are reported.

This paper investigates electrostatically actuated Double Walled Carbon Nanotubes (DWCNT) cantilever biosensors using the Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) and the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM). Forces acting on the outer tube of the DWCNT are electrostatic, damping, and van der Waals, while only van der Waals acts on the inner tube. The electrostatic actuation is provided by a soft AC voltage. Van der Waals forces are present between the carbon nanotubes, coupling the deflections of the tubes; herein, for modal coordinate transformation, only the linear term of the van der Waals force will be considered. The nonlinearity of the motion is produced by the electrostatic and van der Waals forces. The DWCNT undergoes nonlinear parametric dynamics. MMS is employed to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weak nonlinearities. The frequency-amplitude response is found in the case of primary resonance. DWCNTs are modelled after the Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beam. The expected nonlinear dynamic behavior is important to improve DWCNT resonator sensitivity in the application of mass sensing.

This paper deals with electrostatically actuated Carbon NanoTubes (CNT) cantilevers for bio-sensing applications. There are three kinds of forces acting on the CNT cantilever: electrostatic, elastostatic, and van der Waals. The van der Waals forces are significant for values of 50 nm or lower of the gap between the CNT and the ground plate. As both forces electrostatic and van der Waals are nonlinear, and the CNT electrostatic actuation is given by AC voltage, the CNT dynamics is nonlinear parametric. The method of multiple scales is used to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weakly nonlinearities. The frequency-amplitude and frequency-phase behavior are found in the case of primary resonance. The CNT bio-sensor is to be used for mass detection applications.

Forced Vibration Analysis

The aim of this study is to model and investigate the nonlinear transversal vibration of a carbon nanotube carrying an intermediate mass along the structure considering the nonlocal and non-classical theories. Due to the application of the proposed system in sensors, actuators, mass detection units among others, the analysis of forced vibration of such systems is of an important task being considered here. The governing equation of motion is developed by combining the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and the Eringen non-local theory. The Galerkin approach is employed to obtain the governing differential equation of the system and the transient beam response for the clamped-hinged boundary condition. A strong perturbation method is utilized to solve the equation obtained and the system responses subjected to a harmonic excitation is examined. The steady-state motion is studied and the frequency response in an analytical form is obtained. Finally, results are evaluated for some numerical parameter values and their effect on the frequency responses are presented and fully discussed.

This article studies the forced vibration of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using the local and the non-local Euler—Bernoulli beam theory. Amplitude ratios for the local and the non-local Euler—Bernoulli beam models are given for single- and double-walled CNTs. It is found that the non-local models give higher amplitudes when compared with the local Euler—Bernoulli beam models. The non-local Euler—Bernoulli beam model predicts lower resonance frequencies.
