Linear free vibration in pre/post-buckled states and nonlinear dynamic stability of lipid tubules based on nonlocal beam model

In this paper, considering the small scale effect, the linear free vibration in pre/post-buckled states and nonlinear dynamic stability of lipid tubules with in-plane movable ends are studied. The small scale effect is characterized by nonlocal elasticity theory. The vibration in pre/post-buckled regions is solved by the differential quadrature method (DQM), and the nonlinear dynamic stability is solved by incremental harmonic balance method (IHBM). In numerical results, the effects of small scale parameter, types of lipid tubule on vibration in pre/post-buckled states and nonlinear dynamic stability are discussed.
