基于非局部弹性应力场理论的纳米尺度效应研究:纳米梁的平衡条件、控制方程以及静态挠度

该文成功地解答了3个关于非局部应力理论用于纳米梁的问题:(ⅰ) 在绝大多数研究中,非局部效应增加导致纳米结构体刚度下降,其现象表现为弯曲挠度增加,固有频率减少,屈曲载荷下降,但为什么Eringen 的非局部弹性理论给出了完全相反的结论;(ⅱ) 为什么在某些研究结果中,非局部效应消失或是对研究结果无影响,比如纳米悬臂梁在集中载荷作用下的弯曲挠度; (ⅲ) 在高阶控制方程中,为什么高阶边界条件不存在．通过应用非局部弹性理论和精确变分原理分析纳米梁的弯曲问题,推导出全新的平衡条件、控制方程、边界条件和静态响应．这些方程和条件包含了与之前的相关研究结果符号相反的高阶微分项,这一差别导致了纳米效应对结构体的影响结果完全相反． 还证明之前为大家所公认的纳米梁静态或动态平衡条件实际上没有达到平衡,只有用等效弯矩代替非局部弯矩时,才可达到平衡．这些结论通常是可以被其它方法,比如应变梯度理论、耦合应力模型以及相关实验所证明．     

A general nonlocal nonlinear model for buckling of nanobeams

This study presents a unified model for the nonlocal response of nanobeams in buckling and postbuckling states. The formulation is suitable for the classical Euler–Bernoulli, first-order Timoshenko, and higher-order shear deformation beam theories. The small-scale effect is modeled according to the nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. The equations of equilibrium are obtained using the principle of virtual work. The stress resultants are developed taking into account the nonlocal effect. Analytical solutions for the critical buckling load and the amplitude of the static nonlinear response in the postbuckling state are obtained. It is found out that as the nonlocal parameter increases, the critical buckling load reduces and the amplitude of buckling increases. Numerical results showing variation of the critical buckling load and the amplitude of buckling with the nonlocal parameter and the length-to-height ratio for simply supported and clamped–clamped nanobeams are presented.     

Surface effects on nonlinear free vibration of functionally graded nanobeams using nonlocal elasticity

In this paper, to consider all surface effects including surface elasticity, surface stress, and surface density, on the nonlinear free vibration analysis of simply-supported functionally graded Euler–Bernoulli nanobeams using nonlocal elasticity theory, the balance conditions between FG nanobeam bulk and its surfaces are considered to be satisfied assuming a cubic variation for the component of the normal stress through the FG nanobeam thickness. The nonlinear governing equation includes the von Kármán geometric nonlinearity and the material properties change continuously through the thickness of the FG nanobeam according to a power-law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. The multiple scale method is employed as an analytical solution for the nonlinear governing equation to obtain the nonlinear natural frequencies of FG nanobeams. The effect of the gradient index, the nanobeam length, thickness to length ratio, mode number, amplitude of deflection to radius of gyration ratio and nonlocal parameter on the frequency ratios of FG nanobeams is investigated.

Exact modes for post-buckling characteristics of nonlocal nanobeams in a longitudinal magnetic field

An exact mode solution that investigates the prebuckling and postbuckling characteristics of nonlocal nanobeams with fixed–fixed, hinged–hinged, and fixed–hinged boundary conditions in a longitudinal magnetic field is determined. The geometric nonlinearity arising from mid-plane stretching is considered to obtain the nonlinear governing equation of motion by virtue of Hamilton's principle. The influences of the nonlocal and magnetic parameters on the prebuckling and postbuckling dynamics of nanobeams with various boundary conditions are evaluated, indicating that the critical buckling force can be decreased with the increase of the nonlocal parameter while can be increased with increasing the magnetic parameter. It is demonstrated that the first natural frequency of the nanobeam with fixed–fixed and fixed–hinged conditions in postbuckling configuration is increased from zero to a constant value for higher values of the nonlocal parameter with increasing the axial force. The second natural frequency of the buckled nanobeam is always decreased with an increase of the nonlocal parameter. The results show that the internal resonance between the first and second modes of the postbuckling nanobeams can be quickly and easily activated by increasing the nonlocal parameters, especially for fixed–fixed and hinged–hinged boundary conditions. In addition, the results obtained by exact mode solution are compared those obtained by classical mode solution. It is found that the classical mode is valid only for nonlocal nanobeams with the hinged–hinged boundary conditions.     

Size-dependent pull-in phenomena in electrically actuated nanobeams incorporating surface energies

A modified continuum model of electrically actuated nanobeams is presented by incorporating surface elasticity in this paper. The classical beam theory is adopted to model the bulk, while the bulk stresses along the surfaces of the bulk substrate are required to satisfy the surface balance equations of the continuum surface elasticity. On the basis of this modified beam theory the governing equation of an electrically actuated nanobeam is derived and a powerful technology, analog equation method (AEM) is applied to solve this complex problem. Beams made from two materials: aluminum and silicon are chosen as examples. The numerical results show that the pull-in phenomena in electrically actuated nanobeams are size-dependent. The effects of the surface energies on the static and dynamic responses, pull-in voltage and pull-in time are discussed.

Geometrically nonlinear analysis of Timoshenko piezoelectric nanobeams with flexoelectricity effect based on Eringen's differential model

This study analyzes the nonlinear free vibration and post-buckling of nanobeams with flexoelectric effect based on Eringen's differential model. The nanobeam is modeled based on Timoshenko beam's theory. The von-Kármán strain–displacement relation together with the electrical Gibbs free energy and Hamilton's principle are employed to derive equations of motion. The nonlinear free vibration frequencies are obtained for pinned–pinned (P–P) and clamped–clamped (C–C) boundary conditions. Multiple scales method is employed to obtain the closed-form solution for the nonlinear governing equations. By employing this methodology, the natural frequencies of nanobeams are obtained and their post-buckling behavior is examined. The influence of nonlocal parameter, amplitude ratio, and input voltage on the top surface and flexoelectricity constant on nonlinear free vibration and post-buckling characteristics of nanobeam is investigated. In this paper, it is concluded that the flexoelectricity has a significant effect on free vibration of the beams in nano-scale and its effect has to be considered in designing nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) such as nano- generators and nano-sensors.     

Unified theory of 2n+1 order size-dependent beams: Mathematical difficulty for functionally graded size-effect parameters solved

New insights on theoretical modeling of size-dependent functionally graded (FG) nanobeams are provided by establishing a unified theory of 2n+1 order shear deformable model with the aids of nonlocal strain gradient elasticity. The unified model covers Euler-type (n = 0), Reddy-type (n = 1), 5th (n = 2), 7th (n = 3) order beam and etc., and the limiting situation n → ∞ predicts nonlocal strain gradient Timoshenko model. The mathematical difficulty for FG nonlocal parameter is particularly emphasized, and an attempt is made for the first time to overcome the difficulty. Theoretically, the governing equations and boundary conditions of 2n+1 order nonlocal strain gradient beams, especially with FG nonlocal parameter and FG strain gradient parameter, are systematically formulated. The difficulty for FG nonlocal parameter is satisfactorily solved with by adopting the present 2n+1 order beam theory. Analytically, solutions to bending and buckling analyses within the unified model are obtained, from which the analytical solutions for Euler- and Timoshenko-type beam can be recovered. Numerically, bending deflection and buckling critical load for Euler beam, Reddy beam, 5th-11th order beam and Timoshenko beam are depicted, of which the benchmark solutions for the 5th to 11th order beam are given for the first time. Meanwhile, potential extensions of the unified model into fractional order is discussed, where benchmark solutions for n = 1.1, 0.88, 0.77, 0.4and0.2 are listed. The influences of FG nonlocal parameter, dimensionless height and Poisson's ratio (or the ratio E/G) on the bending deflection and buckling critical load are systematically studied. The present work mainly contributes to theoretical developments and greatly facilitates the mechanical analysis of beam-type structures.     

A nonlocal higher-order model including thickness stretching effect for bending and buckling of curved nanobeams

An analytical approach for static bending and buckling analyses of curved nanobeams using the differential constitutive law, consequent to Eringen’s strain-driven integral model coupled with a higher-order shear deformation accounting for through thickness stretching is presented. The formulation is general in the sense that it can be deduced to examine the influence of different structural theories, for static and dynamic analyses of curved nanobeams. The governing equations derived using Hamiltons principle are solved in conjunction with Naviers solutions. The formulation is validated considering problems for which solutions are available. A comparative study is made here by various theories obtained through the formulation. The effects various structural parameters such as thickness ratio, beam length, rise of the curved beam, and nonlocal scale parameter are brought out on bending and stability characteristics of curved nanobeams.

On the nano-structural dependence of nonlocal dynamics and its relationship to the upper limit of nonlocal scale parameter

Nonlocal elasticity theory is one of the most popular theoretical approaches to investigate the intrinsic scale effect of nano-materials/structures. The coupling of an internal characteristic length and a material parameter can be regarded as a nonlocal scale parameter in nano-meters. The range of this non-dimensional scale parameter is from zero up to different values previously. There is no doubt that the zero nonlocal scale parameter corresponds to a situation without any nonlocal effect. However, the determination of a peak value for the scale parameter is still uncertain. In fact, we frequently ask a simple but unresolved question, i.e., how strong is the nonlocal scale effect? This question is equivalent to what the maximum value of the nonlocal scale parameter is, since it was introduced to characterize the scale effect theoretically. Until now, various maximum values have been selected without rigorous verifications. In this paper, the nano-structural dependence of nonlocal dynamical behavior is investigated to present the existence of an upper limit for the scale parameter. Through three typical examples, the size-dependent behavior of nonlocal dynamics for various nano-structures is analyzed. The upper limit of the scale parameter can be determined accordingly. It is shown that an interval for the scale parameter in the illustrative examples can be found on the basis of the nonlocal softening physical mechanism, in which the equivalent stiffness of nano-structures is weakened than that predicted by the classical continuum theory. The present study contributes to a fuzzy zone in nonlocal elasticity where people are puzzled over the question how to select the upper limit of the nonlocal scale parameter. It is not only beneficial to the refinement of the nonlocal theory of elasticity, and also useful for the exploration of similar theories in nano-mechanics.     

Vibration analysis of Euler–Bernoulli nanobeams by using finite element method

In the present study, an efficient finite element model for vibration analysis of a nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli beam has been reported. Nonlocal constitutive equation of Eringen is proposed. Equations of motion for a nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli are derived based on varitional statement. The finite element method is employed to discretize the model and obtain a numerical approximation of the motion equation. The model has been verified with the previously published works and found a good agreement with them. Vibration characteristics, such as fundamental frequencies, are illustrated in graphical and tabulated form. Numerical results are presented to figure out the effects of nonlocal parameter, slenderness ratios, rotator inertia, and boundary conditions on the dynamic characteristics of the beam. The above mention effects play very important role on the dynamic behavior of nanobeams.

Nonlinear internal resonance of double-walled nanobeams under parametric excitation by nonlocal continuum theory

In the present work, the nonlinear internal resonance of double-walled nanobeams under the external parametric load is studied. The nonlocal continuum theory is applied to describe the nano scale effects and the nonlinear governing equations are derived by the multiple scale method. The parametric internal resonance is considered and the relation between the frequency and amplitude is discussed. From the numerical simulation, it can be observed that small scale effects are more obvious for short structures. Three different nonlinear cases can be found. The gap between the stable and instable regions is reduced by the van der Walls (vdW) interaction but enhanced by the excitation amplitude. Moreover, the dynamical motions of double-walled nanobeams are sensitive to the initial condition and excitation frequency.     

Thermal effects on buckling of shear deformable nanocolumns with von Kármán nonlinearity based on nonlocal stress theory

Thermal buckling of nanocolumns considering nonlocal effect and shear deformation is investigated based on the nonlocal elasticity theory and the Timoshenko beam theory. By expressing the nonlocal stress as nonlinear strain gradients and based on the variational principle and von Kármán nonlinearity, new higher-order differential governing equations with corresponding higher-order nonlocal boundary conditions both in transverse and axial directions for instability of nanocolumns are derived. New analytical solutions for some practical examples on instability of nanocolumns are presented and analyzed in detail. The paper concluded that the critical buckling load is significantly increased in the presence of nonlocal stress and the results confirm that nanocolumn stiffness is enhanced by nanoscale size effect and reduced by shear deformation. The critical temperature change is increased with larger diameter to length ratio and higher nonlocal nanoscale. It is also concluded that at low and room temperatures the buckling load of nanocolumns increases with increasing temperature change, while at high temperature the buckling load decreases with increasing temperature change.     

Chaos in fluid-conveying NSGT nanotubes with geometric imperfections

A scale-dependent model of nanobeams with large deformations is developed to investigate the influences of a geometric imperfection on the chaotic response of nanotubes. In order to comprehensively simulate the effects of being at nanoscales, a nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) is utilised. To model a geometric imperfection, an initial deflection is taken into account for the nanosystem. Since the relative motion between the nanofluid and nanotube at the interface is not negligible, Karniadakis–Beskok assumptions are employed to incorporate the effects of this relative motion. Utilising an energy-work balance technique, the nonlinear governing equations are derived for the coupled motion of the nanofluid-conveying NSGT nanotube. Finally, the influences of the geometric imperfection on the motion response are analysed using a direct-time-integration approach and a Galerkin scheme.     

Buckling and vibration analysis of nonlocal axially functionally graded nanobeams based on Hencky-bar chain model

Buckling and free vibration analyses of nonlocal axially functionally graded Euler nanobeams is the main objective of this paper. Due to its simplicity, the Eringen's differential constitutive model is adopted for describing the nonlocal size dependency of nanostructure beam. The nonlocal equilibrium equation is derived using the principle of the minimum potential energy principle, and discretized by using the link-spring model known in literature as Hencky bar-chain model. The general applicability of the proposed approach allows analyses of functional graded microbeams without any restriction on variability, boundary and loading conditions. A comparison with results available in the literature shows the reliability of the method.
