RISA Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model for Large Deflections of Fixed-Clamped Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may be used to create nanoscale compliant mechanisms that possess large ranges of motion relative to their device size. Many macroscale compliant mechanisms contain compliant ...
Comparison of Molecular Simulation and Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model Predictions for a Carbon Nanotube–Based Compliant Parallel-Guiding Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We report on the accuracy of the pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) in predicting the behavior of a nanoscale parallel-guiding mechanism (nPGM) that uses two single-walled (5,5) carbon nanotubes ...
Design of a Surgical Port for Minimally Invasive Beating-Heart Intracardial Procedures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Direct-access, minimally invasive, beating-heart intracardial procedures have the potential to replace many traditional surgical procedures requiring cardio-pulmonary bypass as long as micro-emboli ...
