Abstract
Carbon nanotube (CNT) is the allotrope of carbon, which resembles a rolled up graphite sheet capped with a fullerene molecule. One such system is achieved by using intermediate material (such as polymers) between two nanotubes. This idea enabled the path for simplest nanotube system i.e. a double single walled carbon nanotube system (DSWNTS) which has two single walled carbon nanotubes, attached together by a continuous elastic medium. In this study, we investigated the comparison between the performance of a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and a DSWNTS. The governing equations are derived using modified couple stress theory (MCST) based on vibrational principle approach. Transverse deflection due to point load at the end of the cantilever is calculated using the finite element simulations and are compared with the analytical solution. Such a comparative study can be a base to understand the behaviour of CNT systems clearly and to know their feasibility to be used for sophisticated applications.
