Static analysis of carbon nanotubes with different geometrically based on elastic curve method

In this thesis, static analysis of nanobeams has been done. The fourth – order differential equation of elastic curve for distributed loaded systems and double integrations equation of bending moment for point loaded systems have been obtained and this equation has been applied to various boundary conditional systems for under various static load. Nanobeams have been modeled from carbon nanotube (CNT) material. Displacement values and bending moment internal values of beam have been calculated by obtained equations. Effect to static analyses of such as factors type and magnitude of load, beam length and section geometry have been discussed. The results have shown, rigid boundary conditional beams less deflected and less subjected to bending moment than semi rigid boundary conditional beams. When the beam length is increased, displacement values have been also increased. When the size of cross – section is increased, displacement values have been decreased because inertia moment has been increased. Hollow sections have done less deflection than hollow sections.
