In this study, the concept of nonlocal continuum theory is used to characterize the nonlinear vibration of an embedded single-walled carbon nanotube. The Pasternak-type model is employed to simulate the interaction of the SWNTs. The parameterized perturbation method is used to solve the corresponding nonlinear differential equation. The effects of the vibration amplitude, flow velocity, nonlocal parameter, and stiffness of the medium on the nonlinear frequency variation are presented. The result shows that by increasing the Winkler constant, the nonlinear frequency decreases, especially for low vibration amplitudes. In addition, it is resulted that influence of the nonlocal parameter is greater at higher flow velocities in comparison with lower flow velocities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
