The SWCNT is assumed to vibrate under an external harmonic electric force field and an analytical solution is proposed to obtain the nonlinear resonant frequencies. The results show good agreement with the numerical simulation and the obtained analytical frequency is com- pletely related to the curvature of the nanotube. Our model predicts that although the model is nonlinear in nature, the curved SWCNT could behave linearly in a certain amount of curvatures and this quasi-linear vibrational behavior of curved SWCNT is a function of aspect ratio, nonlocal parameter, and stiffness of the foundation.展开更多

The cubic spline approximation produces at each time level a spline function which may be used to obtain the solution at any point in the range of the space variable. The proposed cubic spline method is applicable to parabolic equations having singularity. The stability analysis for diffusion- convection equation shows the unconditionally stable character of the cubic spline method. The numerical tests are performed and comparative results are provided to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed method.展开更多

The unsteadiness in the flow and temperature is caused by the time-dependent stretching velocity and surface temperature. A similarity transformation is used to reduce the governing boundary-layer equations to couple higher order non-linear ordinary differential equations. These equations are numerically solved using quasi-linearization technique. The effect of the governing parameters unsteadiness parameter and Prandtl number on velocity and temperature profile is discussed. Besides the numerical results for the local skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are presented. The computed results are compared with previously reported work.展开更多
