Numerical Simulation of the Vibration Behavior of Curved Carbon Nanotubes

Figure 8

Change in natural frequency with (a) armchair and (b) zigzag CNTs for fixed-free, with (c) armchair and (d) zigzag CNTs for fixed-fixed and with (e) armchair and (f) zigzag for free-free boundary conditions. The markers represent the results of the computation; the straight lines are linear regressions.
