Temperature Effect On The Vibration Characteristics Of Carbon Nanotubes

Résumé: In this work, the thermal buckling properties of carbon nanotube with small scale effect are studied. Based on the nonlocal continuum theory and the Timoshenko beam model, the governing equation is derived and the critical buckling temperature is presented. The influences of the scale coefficients, the ratio of the length to the diameter, the transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia are discussed. It can be observed that the small scale effects are significant and should be considered for thermal analysis of carbon nanotube. The critical buckling temperature becomes higher with the ratio of length to the diameter increasing. Furthermore, for smaller ratios of the length to the diameter and higher mode numbers, the transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia have remarkable influences on the thermal buckling behaviors.
