Thermo mechanical buckling analysis of carbon nanotubes on winkler foundation using non-local elasticity theory and DTM

摘要

Thermo-mechanical buckling behaviour of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) on Winkler foundation is reported. Non-local elasticity theory and differential transformation method are applied. Effects of (i) size of SWCNT, (ii) non-local parameter, (iii) Winkler modulus, (iv) boundary conditions and (v) temperature on buckling load are investigated.
