โฆ Synopsis
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 of Timoshenko beams structures with some typical boundary conditions are also derived from nonlocal elasticity. In addition, the applicability of the two beam models is explored by numerical simulations. The research work reveals the significance of the small-scale effect on wave propagation in single-walled CNTs.

Nonlocal elasticity theory is a popular growing technique for the mechanical analyses of MEMS and NEMS structures. The nonlocal parameter accounts for the small-size effects when dealing with nanosize structures such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). In this article, nonlocal elasticity an
