Nanomechanics
[edit | edit source]Some of the mechanical aspects of nanotechnology is
- Extreme Youngs modulus materials
- High frequency resonances in nanoscale oscillators
NEMS
[edit | edit source]Nano-electro-mechanical systems
Mechanics of beams and cantilevers
[edit | edit source]Cantilevers are essential in many mechanical systems: Nanotubes, nanowires and atomic force microscopes...
The harmonic oscillator
[edit | edit source]Fundamental in the description of any oscillating systems is the harmonic oscillator and the quantum mechanical version, the Quantum harmonic oscillator.
