Problem 9.71
Revisit Example 9.2 and compute the natural frequency of the
silicon nanowire, using the energy method. Use a uniform Si
nanowire with a circular cross section that is
9:8 m
long and
330 nm
in diameter and with all its flexibility lumped in a torsional
spring at the base of the wire. In addition, use
D2330 kg=m3
for the density of silicon and
ED152 GPa
for its modulus of
elasticity.

Solution
The FBD of the bar is shown at the right, where
Mt
is the restoring
moment due to the torsional spring,
measures the rotation of the
bar, and
ı
is the deflection of the end of the bar. We will ignore the
work done by gravity in our solution since the nanowire oscillates
about its static equilibrium position.
