摘要

A dynamic Timoshenko beam model is established based on the new nonlocal strain gradient theory and slip boundary theory to study the wave propagation behaviors of fluid-filled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at nanoscale.The nanoscale effects caused by the CNTs and the inner fluid are simulated by the nonlocal strain gradient effect and the slip boundary effect,respectively.The governing equations of motion are derived and resolved to investigate the wave characteristics in detail.The numerical solution shows that the strain gradient effect leads to the stiffness enhancement of CNTs when the nonlocal stress effect causes the decrease in stiffness.The dynamic properties of CNTs are affected by the coupling of these two scale effects.The flow velocity of fluid inside the CNT is increased due to the slip boundary effect,resulting in the promotion of wave propagation in the dynamic system.
