Mechanical properties of graphene [PDF]
This paper reviews the mechanical properties of graphene with particular attention to what is established and what is still uncertain. It clarifies the thickness and the elastic constants, and by also considering also phonon frequencies, it argues that “best values” come from graphite, when available.

This chapter report the most recent experimental results on mechanical behaviour at high temperature of high-performance concretes. After a short introduction, Sect. 5.2 describes the main testing methods that were used in the analysed studies. Section 5.3 collects and compares the temperature-dependency of the compressive strength and modulus of ...

The Mechanical Properties of Nanowires [PDF]
Applications of nanowires into future generation nanodevices require a complete understanding of the mechanical properties of the nanowires. A great research effort has been made in the past two decades to understand the deformation physics and mechanical behaviors of nanowires, and to interpret the discrepancies between experimental measurements and ...

Ultimate mechanical properties of enstatite [PDF]
AbstractThe ultimate mechanical properties of MgSiO3 orthoenstatite (OEN), as characterized here by the ideal strengths, have been calculated under tensile and shear loadings using first-principles calculations. Both ideal tensile strength (ITS) and shear strength (ISS) are computed by applying homogeneous strain increments along high-symmetry ...

Ultimate Mechanical Properties of Forsterite [PDF]
The ultimate mechanical properties, as characterized here by the ideal strengths of Mg2SiO4 forsterite, have been calculated using first-principles calculations and generalized gradient approximation under tensile and shear loading. The ideal tensile strengths (ITS) and ideal shear strengths (ISS) are computed by applying homogeneous strain increments ...

Mechanical Properties of Axons
The mechanical response of PC12 neurites under tension is investigated using a microneedle technique. Elastic response, viscoelastic relaxation, and active contraction are observed. The mechanical model proposed by Dennerll et al. [J. Cell Biol. 109, 3073 (1989).10.1083/jcb.109.6.3073], which involves three mechanical devices--a stiff spring kappa ...

Mechanical Properties of Nanosprings [PDF]
Nanostructures (nanotubes, nanowires, etc.) have been the object of intense theoretical and experimental investigations in recent years. Among these structures, helical nanosprings or nanocoils have attracted particular interest due to their special mechanical properties.

Sensors for mechanical properties
This paper presents devices to convert a wide range of physical and mechanical properties into a displacement which can subsequently generate an instrumentation signal. The application of physical principles as the basis of a practical transducer is but one fascinating aspect of instrumentation.
