Abstract
The current investigation explores the behavior of pre-stressed viscoelastic Timoshenko nanobeams under the influence of surface effects and a longitudinal magnetic field. Utilizing a modified version of non-local strain gradient theory through the Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model, a closed-form dispersion relation using a suitable analytical approach has been derived. To account for surface stresses, Gurtin-Murdouch surface elasticity theory has been employed. Additionally, the study delves into the impact of a longitudinal magnetic field on a single-walled carbon nanotube, considering Lorentz magnetic forces. The validity of the findings is established by deriving results in the absence of surface effects and magnetic fields, aligning well with existing literature. The investigation indicates that pre-stress has marginal effects on flexural and shear waves, while surface effects, magnetic fields, non-locality, characteristic length, and nanotube diameter significantly influence the phase velocity. Additionally, the Threshold velocity and blocking diameter are discussed for the model.
