Wave dispersion analysis of magnetic-electrically affected fluid-conveying nanotubes in thermal environment

Abstract

In this paper, the wave propagation analysis of fluid-conveying Magneto-Electro-Elastic (MEE) nanotube subjected to multi-physical fields is investigated via nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory (NSGT). To take into account the small-scale effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen is employed. Nonlocal governing equations of MEE nanotube have been derived utilizing Hamilton’s principle. The results of this study have been verified by checking them of antecedent investigations. An analytical solution of governing equations is used to acquire wave frequencies and phase velocities. The Knudsen number is considered to study the slip boundary wall of nanotube and flow. The effects of various parameters such as multi-physical fields, the Knudsen number, different mode, length parameter, nonlocal parameter, fluid velocity, fluid effect and the slip boundary condition on wave propagation characteristics of fluid-conveying MEE nanotube are investigated in detail.
