Abstract: This paper deals with the dynamic analysis of carbon nanotube with surface deviation along its axis. The type of carbon nanotube used in this analysis is a single-walled carbon nanotube that ...

Abstract: Fracture mechanics at the nanoscale level is a very complex phenomenon, whereas the macroscale fracture mechanics approach can be employed for nanoscale to simulate the effect of fracture in ...

Abstract: In this paper the nonlinear dynamic responses of a rigid rotor supported by ball bearings due to surface waviness of bearing races are analyzed. A mathematical formulation has been derived ...

Abstract: In this paper, fault diagnosis of high speed rolling element bearings due to localized defects using response surface method has been done. The localized defects as spalls on outer race, on ...

Abstract: In previous studies, experimentally measured resonance frequencies of carbon nanotubes have been used along with classical beam theory for straight beams. However, it is found that these carbon ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effective strength and elastic properties of carbon nanotube reinforced composites are evaluated using a representative volume element with a number of carbon nanotubes embedded ...

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been regarded as an ideal reinforcements of high-performance composites with enormous applications. In this paper, the effects of pinhole defect are investigated for ...

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess extremely high stiffness, strength, and resilience, and may provide ultimate reinforcing materials for the development of nanocomposites. In this paper, the effective ...

Abstract: In this paper, the vibration signature of straight and wavy single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) doubly clamped at a source and a drain has been analyzed and is used to represent single ...
