Abstract

Nonlinear vibrational behavior of a single-walled carbon nanotube based mass sensors is considered. The modeling involves stretching of the mid plane and damping. The equation of motion involves two nonlinear terms due to the curved geometry and the stretching of the central plane due to the bridged boundary conditions. The manifestation of instability and chaos in the dynamic response is observed. The regions of periodic, sub-harmonic and chaotic behavior are clearly seen to be dependent on added mass and the surface deviations. Poincaré maps and frequency spectra are used to explicate and demonstrate the miscellany of the system behavior.
