Nonlocal vibration and instability analysis of embedded DWCNT conveying fluid under magnetic field with slip conditions consideration

Abstract

In this study, vibration of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) conveying fluid placed in uniform magnetic field is carried out based on nonlocal elasticity theory. DWCNT is embedded in Pasternak foundation and is simulated as a Timoshenko beam (TB) model which includes rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation in the formulation. Considering slip boundary conditions and van der Waals (vdW) forces between inner and the outer nanotubes, the governing equations of motion are discretized and differential quadrature method (DQM) is applied to obtain the frequency of DWCNTs for clamped–clamped boundary condition. The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the remarkable effects of small scale, Knudsen number, elastic medium, magnetic field, density, and velocity of conveying fluid on the stability of DWCNT. Results indicate that considering slip boundary conditions has significant effect on stability of DWCNTs. Also, it is found that trend of figures have good agreement with the previous researches. Results of this investigation could be applied for optimum design of nano/micro mechanical devices for controlling stability of DWCNTs conveying fluid under magnetic fields.
