Abstract
On the basis of the nonlocal elasticity theory, the Timoshenko beam model is utilized to investigate the elastic buckling of chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under axial compression. Based on the governing equations of the nonlocal Timoshenko beam model, an analytical solution for nonlocal critical buckling loads is obtained. The influence of a nonlocal small-scale coefficient, the vibration mode number, the chirality of SWWCNTs, and their aspect ratio on the nonlocal critical buckling loads is studied and discussed.
