Abstract: We present a semi-analytical approach to study the energy dissipation in carbon nanotube (CNT) beam oscillators under gigahertz excitation. The energy dissipation properties are quantified by the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a class of generalized matching boundary conditions (GMBCs) for the coupled atomistic/continuum simulation of lattice dynamics. This work is an extension of the MBCs originally proposed by Tang et al. ...

Abstract: A study on the prediction of springback angle is presented, with focus on the straight flanging operation. The objective of this work is to evaluate the reliability of different methods of ...

Abstract: Soon after the discovery of carbon nanotubes, it was realized that the theoretically predicted mechanical properties of these interesting structures–including high strength, high stiffness, low ...

Abstract: Observed damages of bridge bearings in some engineering projects during high-temperature asphalt pavement paving has attracted more attention to the dramatic temperature effect during the paving process. In this research, ...

Abstract: Graphene has been known to possess exceptional mechanical properties, including its extremely high Young’s modulus and atomic layer thickness. Although there are several reported fiber optic pressure sensors using graphene ...
