Investigating Surface Effects on Thermomechanical Behavior of Embedded Circular Curved Nanosize Beams

Abstract EN

To investigate the surface effects on thermomechanical vibration and buckling of embedded circular curved nanosize beams, nonlocal elasticity model is used in combination with surface properties including surface elasticity, surface tension, and surface density for modeling the nanoscale effect.

The governing equations are determined via the energy method.

Analytically Navier method is utilized to solve the governing equations for simply supported nanobeam at both ends.

Solving these equations enables us to estimate the natural frequency and critical buckling load for circular curved nanobeam including Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations and under the effect of a uniform temperature change.

The results determined are verified by comparing the results with available ones in literature.

The effects of various parameters such as nonlocal parameter, surface properties, Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations, temperature, and opening angle of circular curved nanobeam on the natural frequency and critical buckling load are successfully studied.

The results reveal that the natural frequency and critical buckling load of circular curved nanobeam are significantly influenced by these effects.
