Journal Club January 2010: MEMS-based Instrumentation for Experimental Nanomechanics

Submitted by Yong Zhu on Fri, 01/01/2010 - 05:59

Welcome to the January 2010 issue! In the issue of May 2007 , Prof. Xiaodong Li outlined the existing experimental methods for mechanical characterization of 1D nanostructures. In this issue, I will discuss along the same line but focus on experimental methods enabled by microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Hi all,

van der Waals interaction controls orientations of single-walled carbon nanotubes on quartz during growth

Submitted by Jianliang Xiao on Tue, 12/29/2009 - 17:06

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) possess extraordinary electrical and mechanical properties, with many possible applications in electronics and materials science. Dense, horizonally aligned arrays of linearly configured SWNTs represent perhaps the most attractive and scalable way to implement this class of nanomaterial in practical systems. Recent work shows that templated growth of tubes on certain crystalline substrates (e.g. quartz) yields arrays with the necessary levels of perfection, as demonstrated by the formation of devices and full systems on quartz.

hello everybody;

i'm doing finite element modal analysis of composite structure using ANSYS v11. however i got problem with modeling composite laminates. i hope someone can show an example on how to model the composite laminates. i had looking for the related tutorial but couldn't found one.
