Abstract
Forced vibrations of the single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using the non-local elasticity theory and Timoshenko beam theory is studied. Governing equations for the vibration response of the carbon nanotubes are derived employing Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. Analysis is carried out for both EulerBernoulli beam theory and Timoshenko beam theory. Present forced vibration results for Euler-Bernoulli are in good agreement with those reported in literature. Effects of (i) nonlocal parameter (ii) length of the carbon nanotube and (iii) modes of vibration on the vibration response of the carbon nanotubes are investigated. The effect of nonlocal parameter on the vibration response are significant for small size carbon nanotube and higher modes of vibration.
