| Abstract | Since the first carbon nanotube (CNT) was successfully synthesized in the past few decades, this form of carbon structure has gained attentions from researchers in many different disciplines as it portrays magnificent mechanical and electrical properties. The repeating hexagonal cells, literally Carbon atoms interconnected by covalent bond, form up the cylindrical thin shell structure so-called "Carbon Nano-tube".
To study mechanical behavior of a carbon nanotube, various type of numerical models were proposed, ranging from simplified continuum model to cutting edge technique, molecular dynamic. The focus of this research is on dynamic characteristic of single walled Carbon nanotube since it is implemented in many different equipment, e.g. mass sensor. The fundamental mode of vibration was simulated and good agreement between experimental result and extrapolated numerical result is observed. Further, the vibration characteristic of CNT over different initial amplitudes of excitation is explained in this thesis. |
