Abstract

In the present study, the torsional vibration behavior of double walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) is investigated using nonlocal elasticity theory. The effects of van der Waals Force interaction, nanotube length and nonlocal parameter are studied in detail. Two frequency set are obtained for DWCNTs for a given half wave number. It is also shown that some mode shapes are anti-phase and some of them are in-phase. The present results can be useful in design of nano electromechanical systems like nanobearings and rotary servomotors.
