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 ?? 

This is the second call for abstracts for the 22nd Annual Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper on Finite Element Analysis.  Extended abstracts are due by January 8, 2010.   Details of the competition and submission procedure can be found here. 

Dear Colleagues,

 I am please to let you know about the birth of a new background of micromechanics defining a new field of micromechanics called computational analytical micromechanics (CAM). It offers opportunities for a fundamental jump in multiscale research (see the abstract attached, where avalable electronic publications are indicated and encouraged for reading). However, these opportunities can be realized only in the case of joint efforts of both computational micromechanic's society and the analyticalone. I would be happy if CAM piques your attention.
