Small Scale Effect

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.

Small Scale Effect

Classical plate theory (CLPT) and first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) of plates are reformulated using the nonlocal elasticity theory. Developed nonlocal plate theories have been applied to study buckling behavior of nanoplates. Nonlocal elasticity theory, unlike traditional elasticity theory introduces a length scale parameter into the formulation to take into account the discrete structure of the material to some extent. Both single-layered and multilayered nanoplates have been included in the analysis. Navier's approach has been used to obtain exact solutions for buckling loads for simply supported boundary conditions. Dependence of the small scale effect on various geometrical and material parameters has been investigated. Present study reveals the presence of significant small scale effect on the buckling response of nanoplates. The theoretical development and the numerical results presented in the present work are expected to promote the use of nonlocal theories for more accurate prediction of stability behavior of nanoplates and nanoshells.

Bifurcation Buckling

This paper is concerned with the bifurcation buckling of nano-rings and nano-arches where the allowance for small scale effect is catered for by using Eringen's nonlocal theory of elasticity. Exact buckling solutions for nano-rings and nano-arches under uniform radial pressure are derived and the influence of small scale effect on the buckling pressures and mode shapes is investigated. The new results presented will be useful to engineers who are designing nano-rings and nano-arches to be used in MEMS and NEMS devices.

In this article, the small scale effect parameter e0 of single-layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) is calibrated for the bending problem. Taking the SLGSs as a rectangular plate, the normal displacement of the simply supported plate under concentrated force was analyzed by both nonlocal elasticity theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, then the small scale effect parameter e0 of SLGSs with different size was obtained by matching the displacement of the nonlocal elasticity theory and that obtained from MD simulations. The results show that the value of e0 is not a constant but has a relationship with the size of SLGSs, and the relationship of armchair-graphene sheets and zigzag-graphene sheets is different.

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.
