Effects of combined material and geometric nonlinearities on dynamic response of embedded nanobeams

Abstract

Exact prediction of the mechanical behavior of nano-sensors and nano-actuators directly depends on the models applied to analyze their nano-components. From their dynamic behavior point of view, despite many studies related to the geometrical nonlinearities in modeling the nanostructures, one of the main issues that has not been addressed appropriately is the effects of material nonlinearity. Hence, this paper intends to fill this gap and deals with an investigation of combined geometrical and material nonlinearities on the nonlinear dynamic response of the embedded nanobeams in their free vibration as well as the primary and superharmonic resonances. The material nonlinearity considered in this research is formulated based on the sum of linear and cubic relations between the stress and strain. The results reveal that, for the material and boundary conditions of the embedded nanobeam studied in this research, the material nonlinearity tries to cause softening effects while the geometrical nonlinearity attempts to make hardening influences. The competition between these two effects leads to interesting nonlinear behaviors of the nanobeam for different dimensions and dynamic regimes that are scrutinized in this paper. In addition, the effects of applying external magnetic fields on the nonlinear responses of the nanobeams are investigated.

Theoretical prediction of proteins network-induced nonlocal response in molecules-resonator biosensor with hydrogen bonds including van der waals interactions

“…Since researchers have adopted this theory, numerous investigations have widely confirmed its effectiveness in computing the induced behavioral shift due to the effect of small sizes for components with nanometric dimensions [33]. Presently, analyses have applied the nonlocal approach to various types of materials [34,35] to determine both linear [36] and nonlinear [33] vibrations for uniform or nonuniform [37,38] cross-sections. Ghorbanpour Arani et al [39] concluded that the shift in local behavior with respect to nonlocal behavior increases according to a parametric function in relation to the wave number.…”

Surface effect on vibration characteristics of bi-directional functionally graded nanobeam using Eringen’s nonlocal theory

“…Accordingly, modifications in classical continuum theory have been made to incorporate small-scale/nonlocal effects. As a result of this, various nonlocal continuum theories such as couple stress theory (CST) [8], strain gradient theory (SGT) [9], Eringen's nonlocal theory (ENT) [10][11][12][13], nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) [14,15] and surface elasticity theory [16,17] have been proposed. Using these theories, a vast literature dealing with the mechanical behavior of FG nanostructures is available, and Ghayesh and Farajpour [18] have presented a critical review of work up to 2019 [18].…”

Modified couple stress flexure mechanics of nanobeams

“…Remarkable features of CNTs, however, cannot be precisely realized applying the classical approach of the elasticity theory. A great attention is, accordingly, devoted in the recent literature to the generalized elasticity theories, such as nonlocal elasticity approach [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], strain gradient theory [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], and unified elasticity frameworks [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], for nanoscopic study of the field quantities.…”
