... of the outer tube is not equal to that of the inner tube, and the interaction between two tubes is governed by van der Waals force (vdW). Using the transfer function method, the natural frequencies of a nonlocal cantilever with a tip mass are computed. The effects of the attached mass and the outer-to-inner...

...I. Elishakoff; C. Versaci; N. Maugeri; G. Muscolino In this study, we investigate the vibrations of the cantilever single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with attached bacterium on the tip in view of developing the sensor. This sensor will be able to help to identify the bacterium or virus that may...

..., increasing the sensitivity of the microcantilever becomes critical. In this paper, we are considering to achieve this by geometric variation of the cantilever. The sensitivity of the cantilever was improved so that the device can sense the presence of the antigen even if the magnitude of surface stresses...
