Abstract
In this paper structural analysis of nonhomogeneous nanotubes has been carried out using nonlocal elasticity theory. Governing differential equations of nonhomogeneous nanotubes are derived. Nanotubes include both single wall nanotube (SWNT) and double wall nanotube (DWNT). Nonlocal theory of elasticity has been employed to include the scale effect of the nanotubes. Nonlocal parameter, elastic modulus, density and diameter of the cross section are assumed to be functions of spatial coordinates. General Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method has been employed to solve the governing differential equations of the nanotubes. Various boundary conditions have been applied to the nanotubes. Present results considering nonlocal theory are in good agreement with the results available in the literature. Effect of variation of various geometrical and material parameters on the structural response of the nonhomogeneous nanotubes has been investigated. Present results of the nonhomogeneous nanotubes are useful in the design of the nanotubes.
