Abstract:
This paper is an attempt to study the nonlinear vibration of a pre-stressed single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with water-filled and simply supported ends. A new analytical formula is obtained for the nonlinear model based on the simplified Donnell's shell theory. The effects of internal fluid on the coupling vibration of the SWCNT-water system are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the influence of the different nanotube thicknesses and radiuses on the nonlinear vibration frequencies is investigated according to the shell theory. Numerical calculations are done to show the effectiveness of the proposed schemes. The results show that the nonlinear frequency grew with the increasing nonlinear parameters (radius and thickness of nanotube). In addition, it is shown that the influence of the nonlinear parameters is greater at the lower mode in comparison with the higher mode for the same nanotube thickness and radius.
