Tunable frequency band-gap and pulse propagation in a strongly nonlinear diatomic chain
E. B. Herbold, J. Kim, V. F. Nesterenko +2
One-dimensional nonlinear phononic crystals have been assembled from periodic diatomic chains of stainless steel cylinders alternated with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) spheres. W…
Carbon nanotube-sharp tips and carbon nanotube-soldering irons
A. Misra, C. Daraio
We report on the nano-electron beam assisted fabrication of atomically sharp iron-based tips and on the creation of a nano-soldering iron for nano-interconnects using Fe-filled mul…
Strain rate effects in the mechanical response of polymer anchored carbon nanotube foams
A. Misra, J. R. Greer, C. Daraio
Super-compressible foam-like carbon nanotube films have been reported to exhibit highly nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour in compression similar to soft tissue. Their unique combina…
Optimal design of composite granular protectors
Fernando Fraternali, Mason A. Porter, Chiara Daraio
We employ an evolutionary algorithm to investigate the optimal design of composite protectors using one-dimensional granular chains composed of beads of various sizes, masses, and…
