Resonance frequencies and stability of a current-carrying suspended nanobeam in a longitudinal magnetic field

The resonance frequencies and stability of a nanobeam in a longitudinal magnetic field are investigated. To this aim, a three dimensional beam model is used in which the small-scale effect is taken into account based on the nonlocal elasticity theory. The Lorentz forces are obtained in terms of the local elastic rotations of the beam and the thermal stress due to current is modeled as an axial compressive force. Using the Galerkin method, the governing equations of motion are solved and the stability boundary of the nanobeam is determined.
