膜盘联轴器非对称弯曲的一种解析解法

考虑到膜盘的内外缘的刚性远较膜面为大,并且非对称弯曲是在高速旋转运动下,而引进了中面等半径圆假设,即膜盘中面上的每个同心圆变形前后半径不变,但同心圆所在的平面各自发生了角度不同的偏转．在此基础上,通过能量变分原理,导出了相应变形的Euler方程．该方程具有首次积分,忽略一些次要项后,可得到变形的解析解．通过对双曲型面的膜盘计算表明,非对称弯曲下的八面体剪应力在径向及厚向上都变化很小,可近似认为不变,但周向上呈明显脉动变化,因此非对称弯曲对膜盘的疲劳寿命有重要影响．

Vibration characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes based on an anisotropic elastic shell model including chirality effect

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exhibit remarkable chirality-dependent mechanical phenomena. In present paper, an anisotropic elastic shell model is developed to study the vibration characteristics of chiral SWCNTs. Analytical solution is presented by using the Flügge shell theory and complex method. The suggested model is justified by a good agreement between the present results and some experimental and numerical available data in literature. Furthermore, the model is used to elucidate the effect of tube chirality on the frequencies of SWCNTs. Finally, the influences of the externally applied mid-face axial force and torque on longitudinal, radial and torsional frequencies of SWCNTs are investigated.     

Free vibration analysis of carbon nanotube-reinforced functionally graded composite shell structures

This paper deals with free vibration analysis of functionally graded composite shell structures reinforced by carbon nanotubes. Uniform and three distributions of carbon nanotubes which are graded in the thickness direction of the structure are considered. The effective material properties are determined via a micro-mechanical model using some efficiency parameters. The equations of motion are developed based on a discrete double directors shell finite element formulation which introduces the transverse shear deformations via a higher-order distribution of the displacement field. Comparison studies are carried out for various functionally graded composite shell structures reinforced by carbon nanotubes in order to highlight the applicability and the efficiency of the proposed model in the prediction of the vibrational behavior of such shell structures.     

Single wall carbon nanotubes and their electrical properties

Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were synthesized and purified. A water colloid of SWCNTs was prepared and used to assemble SWCNTs onto a gold film surface. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images showed that short SWCNTs stood on gold film surfaces. Using STM tips made of SWCNTs, a crystal grain image of a gold thin film and an atomic resolution image of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite were successfully obtained. The electrical properties of short SWCNTs, which stood on the surface of gold film, were measured using STM. That SWCNTs stand on gold thin films is a promising technique for studying structures and properties of carbon nanotubes, as well as assembling and fabricating high-intensity coherent electron sources, field emission flat panel display, tips for scanning probe microscopes, new nanoelectronic devices, etc.     

Stress and strain-inertia gradient elasticity in free vibration analysis of single walled carbon nanotubes with first order shear deformation shell theory

A gradient-enriched shell formulation is introduced in the present study based on the first order shear deformation shell model and the stress gradient and strain-inertia gradient elasticity theories are used for dynamic analysis of single walled carbon nanotubes. It provides extensions of the first order shear deformation shell formulation with additional higher-order spatial derivatives of strains and stresses. The higher-order terms are introduced in the formulation by using the Laplacian of the corresponding lower-order terms. The proposed shell formulation includes two length scale size parameters related to the strain gradients and inertia gradients. The effects of the transverse shear, aspect ratio, circumferential and half-axial wave numbers and length scale parameters on different vibration modes of the single-walled carbon nanotubes are elucidated. The results are also compared with those obtained from a classical shell theory with Sanders–Koiter strain-displacement relationships.     

Nonlocal elasticity effect on column buckling of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under temperature field

Based on nonlocal theory of thermal elasticity mechanics, an elastic multiple column model is developed for column buckling of MWNTs with large aspect ratios under axial compression coupling with temperature change. The present model treats each of the nested tubes as an individual column interacting with adjacent nanotubes through the intertube van der Waals forces. The thermal effect is incorporated in the formulation. In particular, an explicit expression is derived for the critical axial strain of a double-walled carbon nanotube which clearly demonstrates that small scale effects contribute significantly to the thermo-mechanical behavior of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and cannot be ignored.     

Vibration of carbon nanotube reinforced composite beams based on the first and third order beam theories

This paper investigates the linear free vibration of nanocomposite beams reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Two types of CNT reinforced beams, namely uniformly distributed CNT reinforced (UD-CNT) beams and functionally graded CNT reinforced (FG-CNT) beams, are considered. It is assumed that the SWCNTs are aligned along the beam axial direction and the distribution of the SWCNTs may vary through the thickness of the beam. The virtual strain and kinetic energies of the FG-CNT composite beam are obtained using the classic variational method of Hamilton’s principle and then solved by the p-Ritz method. Vibration frequency parameters for the FG-CNT beams based on the first order and third order beam theories are presented and the effects of CNT filler volume fraction, distribution, beam span to depth ratio and end support conditions on the free vibration characteristics of the beams are discussed. Comparison studies for UD-CNT and FG-CNT beams based on the first order and the third order beam theories are also performed and the differences in vibration frequencies between these two theories are highlighted.     

Small scale effect on vibrational response of single-walled carbon nanotubes with different boundary conditions based on nonlocal beam models

The free vibration response of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is investigated in this work using various nonlocal beam theories. To this end, the nonlocal elasticity equations of Eringen are incorporated into the various classical beam theories namely as Euler-Bernoulli beam theory (EBT), Timoshenko beam theory (TBT), and Reddy beam theory (RBT) to consider the size-effects on the vibration analysis of SWCNTs. The generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is employed to discretize the governing differential equations of each nonlocal beam theory corresponding to four commonly used boundary conditions. Then molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is implemented to obtain fundamental frequencies of nanotubes with different chiralities and values of aspect ratio to compare them with the results obtained by the nonlocal beam models. Through the fitting of the two series of numerical results, appropriate values of nonlocal parameter are derived relevant to each type of chirality, nonlocal beam model, and boundary conditions. It is found that in contrast to the chirality, the type of nonlocal beam model and boundary conditions make difference between the calibrated values of nonlocal parameter corresponding to each one.     

Rotating response on the vibrations of functionally graded zigzag and chiral single walled carbon nanotubes

This study deals with the vibration analysis of zigzag and chiral rotating functionally graded carbon nanotubes (FG-CNT) invoking Love's shell theory using wave propagation approach. The frequency equation is formed in the eigenvalue form. It has been shown that with the increase of angular speed, frequencies of forwarding curve decrease and backward curve increase. The phenomena of frequency versus length-and height-to-radius ratios are noted as decreasing and increasing, respectively, for rotating CNTs. The backward and forward frequency curves of clamped-free are lower throughout the computation than the clamped-clamped zigzag and chiral carbon nanotube depending upon the rotating speed. MATLAB software is used to calculate the rotating (backward and forward) frequencies of SWCNTs and the frequency peaks in the present results show excellent stability across a wide range of parameters. Using geometrical and material parameters, the vibration results are given in tabular and graphical form. It is thus desirable to produce more precise estimations of the vibrational frequencies of CNTs. The present results are compared with earlier literature using simply supported boundary conditions and show a good coincidence.     

Rigorous van der Waals effect on vibration characteristics of multi-walled carbon nanotubes under a transverse magnetic field

An analytical method is presented to investigate rigorous van der Waals interaction effect on vibration characteristics of multi-walled carbon nanotubes embedded in matrix under a transverse magnetic field. Each of the concentric tubes of multiwall carbon nanotubes is considered as an individual elastic shell and coupled with any two walls through a rigorous van der Waals interaction being dependent on the change of interlayer spacing and the radii of tubes. Results show that the rigorous van der Waals interaction effect makes the lowest magneto-vibration frequency of multi-walled carbon nanotubes decrease and the highest magneto-vibration frequency increase. The effect of rigorous van der Waals interaction on magneto-elastic vibrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is dependent on the transverse magnetic strength and the matrix constrained stiffness.     

Wave functions and eigenvalues of charge carriers in a nanotube in a neighborhood of the Dirac point in the presence of a longitudinal electric field

Based on the Hamiltonian for charge carriers in carbon nanotubes with finite lengths, we obtain eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in a neighborhood of the Dirac points (wave functions written analogously to the two-component Dirac wave function are expressed in terms of Hermite polynomials, and the spectrum is equidistant) in the presence of a longitudinal electric field. We express the solution in terms of the Hermite functions in the case of carbon nanotubes with infinite lengths. Based on the obtained wave function for an elongated nanotube, we consider the problem of determining the coefficient of charge carrier transport through the nanotube. The results of finding the transport coefficient can also be applied to other nanoparticles, in particular, to carbon chains and nanotapes. We propose to use the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of nanotubes with finite lengths to consider the problem of radiation generation in a nonlinear medium based on an array of such noninteracting nanotubes.
