“…Firstly, for many micro/nano beams, both the physical (e.g., induced by van der Waals force) and geometrical (e.g., stem from large deflection) nonlinearities were observed by previous theoretical and experimental investigations (Yang et al, 2010;Ke et al, 2009), the nonlinearity causes the mechanical behaviors of the beams to be changed significantly (Setoodeh et al, 2011;Fang et al, 2013), so the linear beam theory is not appropriate in such situations. Moreover, some researches confirm that the thermal effects are effective on the mechanical behaviors of micro/nano beams (Amara et al, 2010;Ansari et al, 2011). Based on the theories of thermal elasticity and nonlocal elasticity, Chang (2012) developed an elastic Euler-Bernoulli beam model for the thermal-mechanical vibration and buckling instability of single-walled carbon nanotubes conveying fluid, numerical solutions obtained from the finite element method conclude that the effects of temperature change and nonlocal small scale are very significant on the fundamental natural frequency and critical flow velocity.…”
