Example of a nanomechanical system: Molecularly sized gears

[edit] Nanomechanics

Some of the mechanical aspects of nanotechnology is

  • Extreme Youngs modulus materials
  • High frequency resonances in nanoscale oscillators

[edit] NEMS

Nano-electro-mechanical systems

[edit] Mechanics of beams and cantilevers

Cantilevers are essential in many mechanical systems: Nanotubes, nanowires and atomic force microscopes...

[edit] The harmonic oscillator

Fundamental in the description of any oscillating systems is the the harmonic oscillator and the quantum mechanical version, the Quantum harmonic oscillator.
