Abstract

In this paper, vibration characteristics of double-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are studied based upon nonlocal elastic shell theory. The significance of small scale is being perceived by developing nonlocal Love shell model. The wave propagation approach has been utilized to frame the governing equations as eigen value system. The influence of nonlocal parameter subjected to diverse end supports has been overtly analyzed. An appropriate selection of material properties and nonlocal parameter has been considered. The influence of changing mechanical parameter Poisson's ratio has been investigated in detail. It is found that the frequencies decrease as nonlocal parameter increases and for the certain values of nonlocal parameter against range of Poisson ratio rise slowly with length double-walled CNTs. The dominance of boundary conditions via nonlocal parameter is shown graphically. The results generated furnish the evidence regarding applicability of nonlocal shell model and also verified by earlier published literature.
