    Mechanical properties of graphene cantilever from atomic force microscopy and density functional theory

    , Article Nanotechnology ; Volume 21, Issue 18, Article number 185503 , 2010 ; 09574484 Rasuli, R. (Reza) ; Iraji Zad, A. (Azam) ; Ahadian, M. M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    We have studied the mechanical properties of a few-layer graphene cantilever (FLGC) using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The mechanical properties of the suspended FLGC over an open hole have been derived from the AFM data. Force displacement curves using the Derjaguin–Müller–Toporov (DMT) and the massless cantilever beam models yield a Young modulus of Ec ~ 37, Ea ~ 0.7 TPa and a Hamakar constant of ~ 3 × 10 − 18 J. The threshold force to shear the FLGC was determined from a breaking force and modeling. In addition, we studied a graphene nanoribbon (GNR), which is a system similar to the FLGC; using density functional theory (DFT). The in-plane Young's modulus for the GNRs were calculated...

    We have studied the mechanical properties of a few-layer graphene cantilever (FLGC) using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The mechanical properties of the suspended FLGC over an open hole have been derived from the AFM data. Force displacement curves using the Derjaguin-Müller-Toporov (DMT) and the massless cantilever beam models yield a Young modulus of Ec ∼ 37, Ea ∼ 0.7TPa and a Hamakar constant of ∼ 3 × 10 -18J. The threshold force to shear the FLGC was determined from a breaking force and modeling. In addition, we studied a graphene nanoribbon (GNR), which is a system similar to the FLGC; using density functional theory (DFT). The in-plane Young's modulus for the GNRs were calculated from... 

    An investigation on tensile properties of coiled carbon nanotubes using molecular dynamics simulation

    , Article Diamond and Related Materials ; Volume 74 , 2017 , Pages 154-163 ; 09259635 (ISSN) Shahini, E ; Karimi Taheri, K ; Karimi Taheri, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    A coiled carbon nanotube (CCNT) can be formed from the distortion of parent toroidal carbon nanotube with a uniform pitch length and a uniform spring rise angle. In this research molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to assess the tensile properties of three CCNT having indexes of (3,3), (4,4), and (5,5). The results indicated that Stone-Wales defects are necessary for thermodynamic stability of the CCNTs. The stress-strain curves showed that the yield stress, yield strain, and failure strain are decreased with increase in temperature. The force-displacement curves revealed that the spring constant of these materials is highly depended on the tube diameter and rising angle, while it... 

    Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for classification of ACL-ruptured knees using arthrometric data

    , Article Annals of Biomedical Engineering ; Volume 36, Issue 9 , 9 July , 2008 , Pages 1449-1457 ; 00906964 (ISSN) Heydari, Z ; Farahmand, F ; Arabalibeik, H ; Parnianpour, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    A new approach, based on Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), is presented for the classification of arthrometric data of normal/ACL-ruptured knees, considering the insufficiency of existing criteria. An ANFIS classifier was developed and tested on a total of 4800 arthrometric data points collected from 40 normal and 40 injured subjects. The system consisted of 5 layers and 8 rules, based on the results of subtractive data clustering, and trained using the hybrid algorithm method. The performance of the system was evaluated in four runs, in the framework of a 4-fold cross validation algorithm. The results indicated a definite correct diagnosis for typical injured and normal...
