Trends in Nanoscale Mechanics

Abstract

Editor’s notes provide a few examples of the nanoscale modeling and novel applications of carbon nanotubes in nanotechnology, e.g., the carbon nanotube based AFM probes, nanodevices and nanocomposites in order to introduce and motivate reviews presented in chapters “Mechanics of Carbon Nanotubes,” “Molecular Modeling and Simulation of Physical Properties and Behavior of Low-Dimensional Carbon Allotropes” and “Nanomechanics: Physics Between Engineering and Chemistry” on the still emerging field of nanomechanics.

Dr. V. Harik, Scientist at Nanodesigns Consulting, a former ICASE Staff Scientist at the NASA Langley Research Center (Hampton, VA), author of a monograph and a short course entitled “Mechanics of Carbon Nanotubes” © (2001) presented at the ASME Annual Congress (2001 and 2004) and a co-editor of two Kluwer volumes: “Trends in Nanoscale Mechanics” (2003) and “Micromechanics and Nanoscale Effects” (2004).

Nanodesigns Consulting is a 2004 spin-off from the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. Its Staff consulted for the Princeton-based NASA-funded URETI Institute for Nanostructured Bio-inspired Materials (http://bimat.org), National Institute of Aerospace (Hampton, VA), University Space Research Association (USRA) and NASA NAIC (Atlanta, GA).

Notes

  1. 1.

    In 2001 V.H. Crespi [3] and his group at Penn State University and V.M. Harik at NASA Langley Research Center have independently predicted degeneration of CNT lattice shells into the thin nano-beams around the critical value of the normalized CNT radius , R NT /a ≈ 1, Crespi had predicted breaking of “the symmetry of sp3 bonds in tubular geometries” in the smallest nanotubes . Also see V.M. Harik, Solid State Communications, 120(7–8), 331–335 (2001).

  2. 2.

    A new study of the so called effect of the spatial exclusion of electrons (ESEE) or the SEE effect is presented in V.M. Harik, Mechanics of Carbon Nanotubes, Nanodesigns Press, Newark, Delaware, 2011 (see www.amazon.com and www.nanodesignconsult.com).

  4. 4.

    Nanoscale mechanics of graphene sheets and flakes has been reviewed in chapter “Nanomechanics of Graphene Sheets: Registry Matrix Analysis and Interfacial Sliding” and in Ref. [10], which includes a Chapter on electronic energy barriers in graphene, deformed Fermi cones, material properties, interfacial sliding and nanoscale friction, lattice waves , i.e., phonons, etc.
