Vibration Analysis of Carbon Nanotube Based Bio-Sensors

This project paper has developed an ANSYS model for structural analysis of Carbon Nanotube (CNT). The vibration pattern response are simulated for six different vibration modes. The change in its mass components are modelled as an added mass that when simulated acts as a unified mass of the nanotube itself. The current researches have studied the response vibration pattern of nanotubes for varying masses at zeptogram level. This is limited as the nanotubes have an astounding range of material properties in relation to its size and if practical application were to be made, it can implemented for uses in masses of higher order. This project emphasizes the vibrational pattern when subjected to loads of different range specifically higher order of mass. To date there is no analysis data for masses above zeptogram. In order to address this issue the paper stresses on the mass order of picogram and slightly higher than that and the response frequency of the nanotubes. The materials necessary for the literature are researched and compiled
