Small Scale Effect on Boundary Conditions of Cantilever Single Carbon Nanotubes

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
