Abstract

Carbon Nanotube have been proposed for use in various applications for electromechanical systems. Nano-electromechanical resonators which provide high frequency resolution and long energy storage time, play an important role in wide area fields of science and engineering. Using the control of tension in carbon nanotube, can be made the tunable resonator. In the study, we analysis the tunable frequency change of resonator by tension changes due to the rotation angles of the single-walled carbon nanotube resonator. The frequency characteristics of a resonator as a function of the rotation angle. The tension was found to decrease with increasing rotation angle, and therefore the resonance frequencies could be changed by controlling the single-walled carbon nanotube rotation angle. The resonance frequencies decreased with increasing angle, and when the rotation angle was greater than $60^{\circ}$, these changes were marked.
