  Prediction of Scale Dependent Material Properties of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

  By Saggam Narendar, S. Gopalakrishnan

  Abstract: The present work explores the potential application of nonlocal continuum mechanics related to nanotechnology applications. Nonlocal continuum models represent attempts to extend the continuum approach to smaller length scales while retaining most of its many advantages. This paper presents the prediction of nonlocal scaling parameter for single walled carbon nanotubes. The scale effects are introduced into the continuum models using non-local elasticity constitute model. A relationship among the carbon nanotube …

  Nonlocal Torsional Vibration of Nanorods

  By Saggam Narendar

  Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The present work deals with the torsional vibration of nanorods based on nonlocal elasticity theory. The nonlocal elasticity theory is incorporated into classical rod model to capture unique features of the nanorods under the continuum mechanics theory. The strong effect of the nonlocal scale has been obtained which leads to substantially different behaviors of nanorods from those of macroscopic rods. Nonlocal rod …
