In nanoparticle technologies, such as SERS, fuel cell catalysis and data storage, icosahedral and decahedral nanoparticles, owing to their defect structure, provide higher functionality than their single-crystal Wulff counterparts. However, precise control on the yield of multiply twinned structures during solution synthesis has been challenging. In particular, it is difficult to synthesize ico...

The purpose of the present work is to quantify the coupled effects of surface stresses and boundary conditions on the resonant properties of silicon nanowires. We accomplish this by using the surface Cauchy–Born model, which is a nonlinear, finite deformation continuum mechanics model that enables the determination of the nanowire resonant frequencies including surface stress effects through so...

This paper presents a comprehensive model coupling the effects of hydrostatic stress, surface/interface stress, phase transformation and the structure of electrodes. First, the governing equation of moving phase interface with hydrostatic stress is established. Under the effect of hydrostatic stress, phase transformation process is much faster, which means phase transformation time is overestim...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to determine the stress patterns within an implant and the effect of different types of connections on load transfer. materials and methods. three different types of implant-abutment connections were selected for this study. sample a: 1.5-mm deep internal hex corresponding to a lead-in bevel; sample b: a tri-channel internal connection; and sample ...

Laser Shock Processing (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technology. LSP can induce compress residual stress layer in the surface of metallic materials, which is used for improving the fatigue life. In this study, the propagation course of typical laser shock wave in material was analyzed according to the theory of plasticity dynamics and the theory of stress wave. The effects of laser s...

in this paper, a numerical solution procedure is presented for the forced vibration of a piezoelectric nanowire under thermo-electro-mechanical loads based on the nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of timoshenko beam theory. using hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing differential equations are derived. the governing equations and the related boundary conditions are discreti...

In recent years, dielectrophoresis based microfluidics systems have been used to manipulate colloids, inert particles, and biological microparticles, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cancer cells, bacteria, yeast, micro‌organisms, proteins, DNA, etc. In the current study the governing electric potential equations have been solved in the presence of cell for the purpose of ...
