Chaotic analysis of the geometrically nonlinear nonlocal elastic single-walled carbon nanotubes on elastic medium
Abstract:
This paper presents the chaotic analysis of the single-walled carbon nanotubes on elastic medium. Due to small scales of the nanotubes, the nonlocal elastic theory is applied. Besides, due to large-amplitude vibrations of the nanotubes, the geometrical nonlinearity is taken into account, so the von Kármán strain is incorporated. The results show that the period-three oscillation, the chaos and the period-one oscillation are excited by the different excitation amplitudes. In addition, the excitation amplitude of the chaos increases as the nonlocal parameter increases. These results are also validated by the steady-state time responses, the FFT spectrums, the phase portraits, and the Poincaré sections.

The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
