Analytical and parametric analysis of thermoelastic damping in circular cylindrical nanoshells by capturing small-scale effect on both structure and heat conduction

This article intends to examine thermoelastic damping (TED) in circular cylindrical nanoshells by considering small-scale effect on both structural and thermal areas. To fulfill this aim, governing equations are extracted with the aid of nonlocal elasticity theory and dual-phase-lag (DPL) heat conduction model. Circular cylindrical shell is also modeled on the basis of Donnell–Mushtari–Vlasov (DMV) equations for thin shells. By inserting asymmetric simple harmonic oscillations of nanoshell into motion, compatibility and heat conduction equations, the size-dependent thermoelastic frequency equation is obtained. By solving this equation and deriving the frequency of nanoshell affected by thermoelastic coupling, the value of TED can be calculated through complex frequency approach. Results of this investigation are given in two sections. First, to appraise the validity of presented formulation, a comparison study is conducted between the results of this work in special cases and those reported in the literature. Next, by providing several numerical data, a detailed parametric study is performed to highlight the profound impact of nonlocality and dual-phase-lagging on TED value in simply supported cylindrical nanoshells. The influence of some determining factors such as mode number and type of material on TED is also evaluated.
