Finite element analysis of self-positioning micro- and nanostructures
نویسنده
چکیده
The finite element method is used for modeling of self-positioning microand nanostructures. The geometrically nonlinear problem with large rotations and large displacements is solved using step procedure with coordinate updating after each step. It is shown that the real shape of self-positioning structures is rather complicated and the analytical formulas have limited applicability in the estimate of such their parameters as curvature radius and/or angle of elevation. ‡ Nanotechnology, 2003, 14, pp.820-823. § Electronic mail: [email protected] Finite element analysis of self-positioning microand nanostructures 2

Atomic-scale modeling and continuum mechanics solution predict same curvature radius for structures with large thickness. However, atomic-scale modeling shows si...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Road Actual Conditions to Evaluate the Optimal Positioning of Geogrid Using Finite Elements and Dynamic Methods
Roads are subjected to vehicle traffics with different loads and velocities. Geogrid reinforcement is of the best methods for road improvement due to the ease of construction, delay in damage development and financial efficiency. This study evaluates pavement response under different loads and velocities, before and after geogrid reinforcement. A finite element software (ABAQUS) is used for num...
