... beams. The buckling and vibrations of small scale beams in the presence of surface elasticity effects is studied for various boundary conditions. It is shown that the surface elasticity effects may significantly affect the buckling and vibrations behavior of small scale beams. For clamped-free boundary...

...Zhi-Bin Shen; Bin Deng; Xian-Fang Li; Guo-Jin Tang The potential of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) as a micromass sensor is explored. A nonlocal Timoshenko beam carrying a micromass at the free end of the inner tube is used to analyze the vibration of DWCNT-based mass sensor. The length...

...Demetris Pentaras; Isaac Elishakoff The vibration behavior of double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) is investigated based on Donnell shell theory with van der Waals interaction taken into consideration. In addition, new results are obtained for the natural frequencies of a DWCNT based...

...Francisco Bulnes, Jr.; Francisco H. Bulnes; Eduardo Hernandez Alvarez; Juan Carlos Maya In integral medicine the spectral and vibration knowledge of the vital field in all points and parts of the human body, which is feasible in the application of their pharmacists in a space of states of energy...

...I. Elishakoff; C. Versaci; N. Maugeri; G. Muscolino In this study, we investigate the vibrations of the cantilever single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with attached bacterium on the tip in view of developing the sensor. This sensor will be able to help to identify the bacterium or virus that may...

...Behrouz Arash; Quan Wang Free vibration of single- and double-layered graphene sheets is investigated by employing nonlocal continuum theory and molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that the classical elastic model overestimated the resonant frequencies of the sheets by a percentage as high...

...Po-Ying Yeh; Jayachandran N. Kizhakkedathu; Mu Chiao An antifouling treatment based on the combined effects of grafted polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers and the application of vibration is reported. A gold-coated lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric composite was grafted with PEG used as a model...

...Anand Y. Joshi; Aashish Bhatnagar; S. P. Harsha; Satish C. Sharma In this paper, the vibration signature of straight and wavy single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) doubly clamped at a source and a drain has been analyzed and is used to represent single mode resonator. The previous study showed...
