Investigating Surface Effects on Thermomechanical Behavior of Embedded Circular Curved Nanosize Beams

Abstract

To investigate the surface effects on thermomechanical vibration and buckling of embedded circular curved nanosize beams, nonlocal elasticity model is used in combination with surface properties including surface elasticity, surface tension, and surface density for modeling the nanoscale effect. The governing equations are determined via the energy method. Analytically Navier method is utilized to solve the governing equations for simply supported nanobeam at both ends. Solving these equations enables us to estimate the natural frequency and critical buckling load for circular curved nanobeam including Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations and under the effect of a uniform temperature change. The results determined are verified by comparing the results with available ones in literature. The effects of various parameters such as nonlocal parameter, surface properties, Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations, temperature, and opening angle of circular curved nanobeam on the natural frequency and critical buckling load are successfully studied. The results reveal that the natural frequency and critical buckling load of circular curved nanobeam are significantly influenced by these effects.

“…Size-dependent theories including nonlocal, strain gradient and couple stress theories are better choices and present more accurate outputs in these cases [11,13,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57]. It should be noted that the mentioned theories consist of size-dependent parameters, in which their exact values must be determined by experimental data or numerical simulations [58][59][60][61]. Zhou et al [62] developed a new exact model based on Kirchhoff and surface elasticity theory for the investigation of vibra-tional behavior of the double-layer circular microplate.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to study the static, dynamic, and wave propagation behavior of structures made of FG materials. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Wave propagation of porous FG plates employing various higher-order shear deformation theories is investigated by Yahia et al 15 They concluded that higher order theories can accurately predict the wave characteristics of FG structures and only a little difference exists between their results. Also, many articles are published concerning with analysis of FGM structures based on higher order shear deformation theories.…”
