Clamped-Clamped Single Walled Boron Nitride Nanotube Based Resonant Nanomechanical Mass Sensor
In this paper, the dynamic behavior of the clamped-clamped single walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) has been reported. A 3-dimensional space frame model based on molecular structural mechanics has been developed such that the proximity of the model to the actual atomic structure
of nanotube is significantly retained. The zigzag forms of SWBNNTs have been analyzed by implementing the finite element simulation approach. The resonant frequency shift based analysis due to attached mass has been analyzed for the mass sensitivity analysis. Present approach is validated
using continuum mechanics based analytical results. The mass sensitivity limit of 10−1 zg can be achieved. The resonant frequency shift variations of higher-order modes of vibration can be found as a very useful tool to know the magnitude and intermediate landing positions
of the attached mass along the length of the nanotube. Present approach found to be very effectual in terms of dealing different atomic structures of nanotubes and boundary conditions to analyze dynamic behavior of clamped-clamped SWBNNT based nanomechanical sensor.
