An analytical approach for calculating natural frequencies of finite one-dimensional acoustic metamaterials

In this paper, an analytical matrix method is presented to drive closed-form characteristic equations for natural frequencies of finite monoatomic and diatomic metamaterials with various boundary conditions. Here, we extend the matrix method introduced by Louck for monoatomic lattice chains. The proposed method is used to calculate the vibration frequencies of the monoatomic metamaterials with fixed–fixed, fixed-free and free-free boundary conditions. In addition, the natural frequencies of fixed–fixed diatomic metamaterials are calculated. The existence of band gaps in the frequencies of the metamaterials is numerically shown.

     

Analytical analysis of the static interaction of fluid and cylindrical membrane structures

The static behavior of an inflated cylindrical membrane is theoretically investigated under different conditions of internal pressures, upstream and downstream fluid parameters. The membrane is attached to a horizontal base along two generators and can be inflated with a compressible fluid (air), an incompressible fluid (water), or a combination of them. The base width, curved perimeter, internal pressure, upstream and downstream fluid properties are given. Large deformation of the membrane due to the internal and external pressures makes the governing equation of the problem to be non-linear. In the present study, an analytical approach for the non-linear analysis of the static interaction of the fluid and the cylindrical membrane with different load distributions and boundary conditions is developed. Both geometric and equilibrium relations of the membrane element are used to obtain the membrane profile in explicit closed form. The validity of the present analytical approach is confirmed by comparing the results with experimental and numerical results obtained from the literature. It is shown that the present formulation is an appropriate method and a new approach to predict the static non-linear interaction of the fluid and the membrane structures with a good accuracy and less numerical effort.     

Flow-thermoelastic vibration and instability analysis of viscoelastic carbon nanotubes embedded in viscous fluid

The flexural vibration of viscoelastic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) conveying fluid and embedded in viscous fluid is investigated by the nonlocal Timoshenko beam model. The governing equations are developed by Hamilton's principle, including the effects of structural damping of the CNT, internal moving fluid, external viscous fluid, temperature change and nonlocal parameter. Applying Galerkin’s approach, the resulting equations are transformed into a set of eigenvalue equations. The validity of the present analysis is confirmed by comparing the results with those obtained in literature. The effects of the main parameters on the vibration characteristics of the CNT are also elucidated. Most results presented in the present investigation have been absent from the literature for the vibration and instability of the CNT conveying fluid.     

Nanoscale mass sensing based on vibration of single-layered graphene sheet in thermal environments简

Based on vibration analysis, single-layered graphene sheet （SLGS） with multiple attached nanoparticles is developed as nanoscale mass sensor in thermal environments. Graphene sensors are assumed to be in simplysupported configuration. Based on the nonlocal plate the- ory which incorporates size effects into the classical theory, closed-form expressions lot the frequencies and relative fre- quency shills of SLGS-based mass sensor are derived using the Galerkin method. The suggested model is justified by a good agreement between the results given by the present model and available data in literature. The effects of tem- perature difference, nonlocal parameter, the location of the nanoparticle and the number of nanoparticles on the relative frequency shift of the mass sensor are also elucidated. The obtained results show that the sensitivity of the SLGS- based mass sensor increases with increasing temperature difference.     

In-plane vibration analysis of curved carbon nanotubes conveying fluid embedded in viscoelastic medium

The effect of the induced vibrations in the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) arising from the internal fluid flow is a critical issue in the design of CNT-based fluidic devices. In this study, in-plane vibration analysis of curved CNTs conveying fluid embedded in viscoelastic medium is investigated. The CNT is modeled as a linear elastic cylindrical tube where the internal moving fluid is characterized by steady flow velocity and mass density of fluid. A modified-inextensible theory is used in formulation and the steady-state initial forces due to the centrifugal and pressure forces of the internal fluid are also taken into account. The finite element method is used to discretize the equation of motion and the frequencies are obtained by solving a quadratic eigenvalue problem. The effects of CNT opening angle, the elastic modulus and the damping factor of the viscoelastic surrounded medium and fluid velocity on the resonance frequencies are elucidated. It is shown that curved CNTs are unconditionally stable even for a system with sufficiently high flow velocity. The most results presented in this investigation have been absent from the literature for fluid-induced vibration of curved CNTs embedded in viscoelastic foundations.
