To this end, a nonlocal Timoshenko beam model is developed in the context of fractional calculus. Hamilton’s principle is applied in order to obtain the fractional governing equations including nanoscale effects. The Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic model is also used for the constitutive equations. The free-vibration problem is solved using two methods. In the first method, which is limited to the simply supported boundary conditions, the Galerkin technique is employed for discretizing the spatial variables and reducing the governing equations to a set of ordinary differential equations on the time domain. Then, the Duffing-type time-dependent equations including fractional derivatives are solved via fractional integrator transfer functions. In the second method, which can be utilized for carbon nanotubes with different types of boundary conditions, the generalized differential quadrature technique is used for discretizing the governing equations on spatial grids, whereas the finite difference technique is used on the time domain. In the results, the influences of nonlocality, geometrical parameters, fractional derivative orders, viscoelastic foundation, and fluid flow velocity on the time responses of carbon nanotubes are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"1 1","pages":"30 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90172959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first-order shear deformation theory is considered to obtain the governing equations. Also, the nonlinear von Kármán strain field has been assumed in order to obtain large deformations. Whereas the double-layered graphene sheet has been considered, the effect of van der Waals forces has been taken into account in the analysis. In order to implement the nanoscale impact, the nonlocal elasticity theory has been employed. The solution methodology, which is here based on the semi-analytical polynomial method solving technique presented previously by the authors, has been applied and again its efficiency has been demonstrated due to its highly accurate results. Due to the fact that this research has been done for the first time and there is no validation available, the results of the local single layer sheet are compared with ABAQUS software. The effects of some other parameters on the results have been studied such as the value of eccentricity, van der Waals interaction, and nonlocal parameter.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"73 1","pages":"41 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83970451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study of heat transfer and nanofluid transport has been done by employing Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model and Buongiorno model, respectively. Equations governing the flow are non-dimensionalized using appropriate transformations. Furthermore, the method of local similarity and local non-similarity is used to reduce the equations into non-linear coupled system of equations which are then solved by homotopy analysis method. The obtained results are validated by comparing with the existing results available in the literature. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement. The effects of varying the physical parameters such as Deborah Number, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter and buoyancy ratio parameter are obtained and presented graphically. The effect of sinusoidal variation of surface temperature and species concentration on the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number is also shown. Velocity for Jeffrey nanofluid is more than the Newtonian nanofluid while temperature and nanoparticle concentration for Jeffrey nanofluid is less than the Newtonian nanofluid. Raising value of thermal relaxation times leads to an increase in the heat transfer coefficient. It is observed that temperature of Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model is less than that in classical Fourier’s model away from the vertical wall. These types of boundary layer flow problems are found in vertical film solar energy collector, grain storage, transportation and power generation, thermal insulation, gas production, petroleum resources, geothermal reservoirs.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"86 1","pages":"114 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90976151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The occurrence of stenosis and aneurysm is common in the arterial system, caused by narrowing or dilation of arteries owing to the development of abnormal tissues such as atherosclerotic plaques. The growth of these cells into the lumen of the artery disturbs the flow through the artery. For the treatments of hematological diseases and manufacturing nanoscale biomedical devices, nanofluids are very effective and gaining a lot of attention. In this study, Buongiorno’s nanofluid model is used for nanoscale effects and Bingham–Papanastasiou fluid is employed to study the hemodynamic rheology. An appropriate geometric expression is formulated to project two diseased segments in a curved artery. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are formulated for the case of mild stenosis. To solve the governing equations, an explicit finite difference scheme is used. The biological flow mechanisms are depicted through graphs, and flow patterns are presented for important flow parameters.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"28 1","pages":"69 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85188945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study tested the hypothesis that nano-structured surfaces, produced by the ion beam-assisted deposition method, enhance osteoblast adhesion, growth, differentiation, bone formation, and maturation. The ion beam-assisted deposition technique was employed to deposit zirconium oxide films on glass substrates. The effects of the ion beam-assisted deposition technique on cellular functions were investigated by comparing adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of the human osteosarcoma cell line SAOS-2 on coated versus uncoated surfaces. Ion beam-assisted deposition nano-coatings enhanced initial cell adhesion assessed by the number of 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole–stained nuclei on zirconium oxide nano-coated surfaces compared to glass surfaces. This nano-modification also increased cell proliferation as measured by mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity. Moreover, the ion beam-assisted deposition technique improved cell differentiation as determined by the formation of mineralized bone nodules and by the rate of calcium deposition, both of which are in vitro indicators of the successful bone formation. However, programmed cell death assessed by Annexin V staining and flow cytometry was not statistically significantly different between nano-surfaces and glass surfaces. Overall, the results indicate that nano-crystalline zirconium oxide surfaces produced by the ion beam-assisted deposition technique are superior to uncoated surfaces in supporting bone cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Thus, surface properties altered by the ion beam-assisted deposition technique enhanced bone formation and may increase the biocompatibility of bone cell–associated surfaces.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"82 1","pages":"59 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85174185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence of various model constraints is focused on velocity, heat transfer, pressure distribution, skin friction and Nusselt number through graphical illustration. In addition, we witness that the thermal field of liquid raises with the growing value of φ and this upsurge is more in single-walled carbon nanotubes and is more dominant than multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The controlling approach of the homotopy analysis method has been used for velocity and temperature distribution. For authentication, the achieved results have been associated with the numerical (ND-Solve) method and displayed. This investigation shows that the velocity profile in the case of Casson fluid single-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid is comparatively less affected and the temperature field of single-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid dominates multi-walled carbon nanotube–blood nanofluid.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"57 1","pages":"37 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81491246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The additives present in the conventional lubricant are inadequate to reduce the friction and wear of today’s mechanical systems. However, the use of these additives has a significant effect on the environment due to their fast chemical degradation. In recent years, nanoparticle-based lubricant has attracted great attention due to their friction reduction behavior. Therefore, it is of great importance to examine the role of nanoparticle addition in the conventional lubricant and its influence on the tribological characteristics of the mechanical systems. Hence, this research work focused on the formulation of hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticle-based nanofluids and its effect on the tribological characteristics of cylinder liner and piston rings of a realistic diesel engine. The different concentrations of hBN nanoparticle-based nanofluids were formulated and characterized using the ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy and the thermal gravimetric analysis. The results of the experimental analysis showed that hBN nanoparticles as an additive in the lubricating oil exhibited better anti-wear and friction reduction behavior than the conventional base oil 20W40.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"106 1","pages":"19 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75671297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
