friction reducton
Is it possible to reduce sliding friction coefficient less in metal contact less than 0.02 ?
what is the best coating for steel surface to reduce friction ?

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

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

Hi
Any body working on microstructural modelling, here i want know how to construct Basic real microstructure to FE mesh ??
how to model composite laminates in ANSYS v11
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.
