“…Moreover, the novel Flügge's cylindrical shell model (CSM) based on WPA for estimating the natural frequencies of SWCNTs has been demonstrated to converge faster than the other models and other approaches. The Flügge CSM based on WPA is, therefore, another choice of powerful technique of CNTs whose results are applicable in the limit of acceptable statistical errors than the earlier used approaches (Natsuki and Morinobu, 2006;Hsu et al, 2008;Yakobson et al, 1996;Elishakoff and Pentaras, 2009;Sakhaee-Pour et al, 2009). In this work, the Flügge's CSM based on WPA for determining fundamental frequencies is extended to study vibrations of SWCNTs, which is our particular motivation.…”
