Surface Effects on the Vibration and Buckling of Double-Nanobeam-Systems

الملخص EN

Surface effects on the transverse vibration and axial buckling of double-nanobeam-system (DNBS) are examined based on a refined Euler-Bernoulli beam model.

For three typical deformation modes of DNBS, we derive the natural frequency and critical axial load accounting for both surface elasticity and residual surface tension, respectively.

It is found that surface effects get quite important when the cross-sectional size of beams shrinks to nanometers.

No matter for vibration or axial buckling, surface effects are just the same in three deformation modes and usually enhance the natural frequency and critical load.

However, the interaction between beams is clearly distinct in different deformation modes.

This study might be helpful for the design of nano-optomechanical systems and nanoelectromechanical systems.
