A non-linear analysis of nanotube based nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) is presented. Singly and doubly clamped nanotubes under electrostatic actuation are examined by solving nonlinear elastic equations. The analysis emphasizes the importance of nonlinear effects, such as finite kinematics (i.e. large deformations) and charge concentrations at the tip of singly clamped nanotubes, in the ...

Magnetic field based micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) devices are proposed that use 10 nm diameter magnetic particles, with and without a carrier fluid, for a new class of nanoduct flows, nanomotors, nanogenerators, nanopumps, nanoactuators, and other similar nanoscale devices. A few examples of macroscopic ferrohydrodynamic instabilities that result in patterns, lines, and struc...

Nanotechnology literally means any technology done on a nanoscale that has applications in the real world. Nanotechnology encompasses production and application of physical, chemical and biological systems at scales ranging from individual atoms or molecules to submicrometre dimensions, as well as the integration of the resulting nanostructures into larger systems. Nanotechnology is likely to h...

This paper addresses an overview of the wireless sensor networks. It is shown that MEMS/NEMS technologies and SIP concept are well suited for advanced architectures. It is also shown analog architectures have to be compatible with digital signal techniques to develop smart network of microsystem.

Owing to their applications in devices such as electromechanical sensors, actuators and nanogenerators, the consideration of size-dependent properties response composites is great importance. In this study, a closed-form solution based on linear piezoelectricity, Kirchhoff’s plate theory Navier’s was developed, envisage behaviors hybrid graphene-reinforced piezoelectric composite (GRPC) plates,...
