## Abstract Using generalized gradient elasticity, this paper studies transverse wave characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a free space and embedded in a surrounding elastic medium. For flexural waves propagating in singleβwalled CNTs, the phase and group velocities are obtained analytical

Motivated by the great potential of carbon nanotubes for developing nanofluidic devices, this paper presents a nonlocal elastic, Timoshenko multi-beam model with the second order of strain gradient taken into consideration and derives the corresponding dispersion relation of flexural wave in multi-w
Based on the Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko beam theories, a single-elastic beam model using nonlocal elasticity is developed for the wave propagation in carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The small-scale effect is taken into consideration in the present theory. Frequency equations and modal shape functions o
Analytical wave propagation studies in gradient elastic solids and structures are presented. These solids and structures involve an infinite space, a simple axial bar, a Bernoulli-Euler flexural beam and a Kirchhoff flexural plate. In all cases wave dispersion is observed as a result of introducing
