Abstract
Nonlinear vibration and instability of a boron nitride micro-tube (BNMT) conveying ferrofluid under the combined magnetic and electric fields are investigated. Based on Euler–Bernoulli beam (EBB), piezoelasticity strain gradient theory and Hamilton's principle, high order equations of motion are derived for three boundary conditions namely as clamped–clamped (C–C), simply–simply (S–S) and clamped–simply (C–S). The differential quadrature method (DQM) is applied to discretize the motion equations in order to obtain the nonlinear frequency and critical fluid velocity using a direct iterative method. A detailed parametric study is conducted to elucidate the influences of the various boundary conditions, size diameter and magnetic field on vibrational characteristic of BNMT. Numerical results indicate that the effect of magnetic field appears in higher speed of ferrofluid and increases the critical velocity or enlarges the stability region. The results are in good agreement with the previous researches. The results of this study can be used to manufacture smart micro/nano electromechanical systems in advanced biomechanics applications with magnetic and electric fields as parametric controllers.
