Abstract

ABSTRACTDynamic stability of embedded multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in an elastic medium and thermal environment and subjected to an axial compressive force is studied based on the nonlocal elasticity and Timoshenko beam theory. The developed nonlocal beam model has the capability to consider the small scale effects. The generalized differential quadrature method is employed to discretize the dynamic governing differential equations of MWCNTs with various end supports. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the influences of static load factor, temperature change, nonlocal parameter, slenderness ratio, and spring constant of elastic medium on the dynamic stability characteristics of MWCNTs.
