Scale Coefficient, Length, Mode and Radius Effect on Critical Axial Compressed Buckling Load of Carbon Nanotubes via Nonlocal Continuum Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Some exact concise analytic solutions of critical axial compressed buckling load for carbon nanotubes are derived via nonlocal beam. Scale coefficient, length, mode and radius effect on nonlocal critical axial compressed buckling load of CNTs is established and can be analyzed in terms of the general solutions. Radius effect on nonlocal critical axial compressed buckling load is only found through nonlocal elastic shell model but not derived via nonlocal elastic beam model. Numerical calculations of CNTs show that local critical axial compressed buckling load through local elastic theory is overestimated. Scale coefficient, length, mode and radius effect should be taken into account in predicting more accurate results for mechanical behaviors of CNTs via continuum model.
