Nanomechanical resonators and their applications in biological/chemical detection: Nanomechanics principles

TL;DR: A novel fabrication route based on the introduction of directed self-assembly of block copolymers as a patterning option for the fabrication of nanoelectromechanical systems is presented.

TL;DR: Based on the Kirchhoff plate theory and the continuum surface elasticity theory, a novel model of bilayered circular micro-plates including surface effects is developed in this article, and the governing equation is derived, and the Galerkin method is employed to obtain approximate results.

TL;DR: In this paper, different standard and non-standard continuousization methods are applied to a one-dimensional beam system, consisting of a chain of masses and linear rotational springs, to check the reliability of new non-classical continuum models when capturing the dispersive behaviour of the discrete system, considered as a reference.

TL;DR: In this article, a phase transforming NiTi SMA film sputtered on the common elastic substrate material is used to tune the Young's modulus and the interlayer stress of the NiTi film by temperature.

TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the gear predictor -corrector is used to calculate forces and torques in a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation using Monte Carlo methods. But it is not suitable for the gear prediction problem.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.
