Vibration analysis of double-nanobeam-systems is considered. Double-nanobeam-systems are important in nano-optomechanical systems and sensor applications. Expressions for free bending-vibration of double-nanobeam-system are established within the framework of Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. An analytical method is developed for determining the natural frequencies of the nonlocal double-nanobeam-system. Explicit closed-form expressions for natural frequencies are derived for the case when all four ends are simply-supported. The study highlights that the small-scale effects considerably influence the transverse vibration of double-nanobeam-systems. The nonlocal natural frequencies of double-nanobeam-system are smaller when compared to the corresponding local frequency values. The small-scale effects in the vibrating system are higher with increasing values of nonlocal parameter for the case of in-phase modes of vibration than in the out-of-phase modes of vibration. The increase in the stiffness of the coupling springs in double-nanobeam-system reduces the nonlocal effects during the out-of-phase modes of vibration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
