Static Analysis of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (Swcnt) Based on Eringen’s Nonlocal Elasticity Theory

Abstract

Static analysis of carbon nanotubes (CNT) is presented using the nonlocal Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. Differential quadrature (DQ) method is used for bending analysis of numerical solution of carbon nanotubes. Numerical results are presented and compared with that available in the literature. Deflection and bending moment are presented for different boundary conditions. It is shown that reasonable accurate results are obtained
