A Comparative Buckling Analysis of Silicon Carbide Nanotube and Boron Nitride Nanotube

Abstract

The popularity of nanodevices is gaining a vital importance nowadays. These supersmall sized devices started to be used in human body as in computers. The first using of medical nanotechnology is to deliver of medications with the hope that ‘magic bullet’ chemotherapy to eradicate tumor cells with lower systemic toxicity. Carbon nanotubes are widely used in nanotechnology and many works have been done about it. With the science always need better materials with better properties, scientist have developed Carbon nanotubes to Silicon carbide nanotubes. On the other hand, another king of nanotube with better stability properties than Carbon nanotubes is Boron nitride nanotube. In this work, the stability of the Silicon nanotube and Boron nitride nanotubes are investigated and compared in buckling case. The stability of these nanotubes have an important role since it is used in high-tech equipment and started to be implanted inside of human body. In this article, the buckling analysis SiCNT and BNNT is investigated by using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory for different boundary conditions. Results are presented in figures and table.
