Higher order and scale-dependent micro-inertia effect on the longitudinal dispersion based on the modified couple stress theory

Abstract

The conventional modified couple stress theory cannot model the correct behavior of the longitudinal dispersion and acts the same as the classical theory in the face of such problems. In this paper, the micro-inertia-based couple stress theory is used to triumph over this deficiency. The developed theory is imposed to tackle the longitudinal dispersion of aluminum beams in two distinct scales. Convenient available experimental data obtained for a macro-scale aluminum rod and aluminum crystals are utilized to determine the corresponding micro-inertia length scale parameters and show the scale-dependent nature of this parameter for the first time. In addition, a higher order micro-rotation relation is employed to describe the higher order micro-inertia effects. This relation leads to a developed equation of motion containing an additional term compared with the first-order relation. The obtained results indicate that only higher order micro-inertia effect that is proposed in this study for the first time is able to capture the highly nonlinear behavior of dispersion curves (including an extremum/inflection point), which has experimentally been observed for phonons propagating in the longitudinal direction in an aluminum crystal.

Deep learning framework for carbon nanotubes: Mechanical properties and modeling strategies

“…particularly active in recent years -the nonlocal mechanics of nanorods and nanobeams. Simple mechanical models and quite complex [50,51] nonlocal formulations can be found in the literature nowadays, making various claims concerning the nonlocality of nanoscopic structures, carbon nanotubes in particular. Static [52] and dynamic [53] problems in homogeneous and composite structures [54][55][56] are addressed for both isothermal and nonisothermal environments.…”

Pull in Analysis of Nano sized RF switches using Artificial Neural Networks

“…Experimentalanalysis and FEM analysis using CAD tools for different MEMS/NEMS structures in the determination of pull-down voltage were analyzed [24][25][26][27][28]. In recent years, notable studies have been performed on the instability analysis of MEMS/NEMS structures by considering the couple stress theory and stress-driven nonlocal integral models [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. It is a very time-consuming process to determine the pull-down voltage using 3D FEM modeling.…”

Nonlocalized thermal behavior of rotating micromachined beams under dynamic and thermodynamic loads

“…Non-local continuum mechanics are ideal for modeling of nano-sized structures which are based on the size-dependent behavior of such structures in sub-micron scales. A well-known model named modified couple stress theory (MCST) [13] is one of the most common theories in the field. This hypothesis is used to explain the micron-scale size-dependency observations.…”

“…In recent years, researchers focused on the mechanical characteristics of nanostructures such as nanobeams and plates based on non‐classical models of elasticity because of their growing applications in nano‐electronic structures and nano‐sensors. Non‐classical theories such as the theory of nonlocal elasticity [10,11], strain gradient theory [12] and modified theory of couple stress [13] have been enormously applied to investigate the mechanical features of these structures at the nanoscale. Non‐local continuum mechanics are ideal for modeling of nano‐sized structures which are based on the size‐dependent behavior of such structures in sub‐micron scales.…”
