Hygro-thermo-mechanical vibration of two vertically aligned single-walled boron nitride nanotubes conveying fluid

Abstract

The nonlocal strain gradient theory, when combined with the first-order shear deformation theory, provides many capabilities in size-dependent structures. The aim of the present study is evaluation of the free vibration behavior of two vertically aligned fluid-conveying single-walled boron nitride nanotubes in hygrothermal environments considering slip boundary condition based on Knudsen number. These two adjacent nanotubes are coupled in the context of linear deformation through van der Waals interaction according to Lennard–Jones potential function. Actually, the contribution of the present work, compared with those previously reported, is investigating the simultaneous effect of hygrothermal loading and slip boundary condition on the dynamic behavior of two vertically aligned fluid-conveying single-walled boron nitride nanotubes. As an additional step to achieve a more accurate model of low-scale structures, both hardening and softening effects of materials are taken as important variables in the nonlocal strain gradient approach. To derive the motion equations and associated boundary conditions, Hamilton’s variational principle is used. The equations are then solved with the aid of differential quadrature method. Numerical studies are also performed to depict the effects of a number of parameters such as boundary conditions, size scale, aspect ratio, inter-tube distance, and temperature alteration on the variations of dimensionless eigenfrequency and critical flow velocity.

Sound Transmission Loss of a Honeycomb Sandwich Cylindrical Shell with Functionally Graded Porous Layers

“…The resulting vibrations can specifically create a strong noise in the surroundings, and are thus required to be fully investigated under such circumstances [13][14][15][16][17]. In this regard, forced and free vibrations of cylindrical shells and mechanical properties of polymer based nanocomposite have been thoroughly investigated in the past, as in the works of [18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Estimation of Circular Arc Crack Depths and Locations in Rotary Drilling Pipes Subjected to Free Vibrations

“…Because the natural frequencies of a given structure are defined as eigenvalues [24,25], any change in the parameters of material and geometry will affect the characteristic vibration of the structure [26][27][28][29], in particular when there is a change in mass or stiffness [30][31][32][33][34]. To this end, the development of cracks automatically leads to material discontinuities and, consequently, to changes in the material parameters [35][36][37].…”

Size-dependent vibrational behavior of embedded spinning tubes under gravitational load in hygro-thermo-magnetic fields

“…Traditional classical theories are well-known as scalefree theories and cannot predict size-dependency effects in small-scale structures. [16][17][18] Since size-dependent effects play an influential role in nanostructures, they cannot be ignored in the mechanical analysis of nanosystems; hence, different non-classical continuum theories are developed. [19][20][21] One of the most widely used non-classical theories for modeling the dynamical response of microscale structures is the modified couple stress theory.…”
