Abstract: The scuffing failure of a sliding contact is a complicated process, involving physics, chemistry, and mechanical science. No comprehensive theory has yet been formulated; the published work ...

Abstract: A Timoshenko beam model is presented in this paper for the buckling of axially loaded multiwalled carbon nanotubes surrounded by an elastic medium. Unlike the Euler beam model, the Timoshenko beam model allows for the ...

Abstract: The hybrid nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam model is applied for the bending, buckling, and vibration analyzes of micro/nanobeams. In the hybrid nonlocal model, the strain energy functional combines the local and nonlocal ...

Abstract: This paper reviews recent research studies on the buckling of carbon nanotubes. The structure and properties of carbon nanotubes are introduced to the readers. The various buckling behaviors ...
