Abstract

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) have received great interest from researchers around the world since the advent of nanotechnology and nanoengineering. This can be attributed due to the unique characteristics of NEMS devices and their wide range of applications. Among these applications, nanobeams and nanotubes now have an important role in the design of a variety of NEMS engineering devices. In the current research, the thermoelastic vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli nanobeams has been investigated using the theory of non-local elasticity proposed by Eringen. Also to study the effect of temperature change, the generalized thermoelastic model with dual phase-lag (DPL) is applied. The studied nanobeam is subjected to an axial thermal excitation load and surrounded by a magnetic field of constant strength. The Laplace transform technique has been used to solve the system differential equations and to find an approximate analytical solution for the different physical fields of the nanobeam. The numerical results obtained for the studied variables have been graphically clarified and discussed analytically. The effects of various influencing factors such as magnetic field strength, temperature change, non-local parameter as well as ramp type parameter have been examined and studied in detail.
