The surface effects on the large deflection of nanowires were considered. Both geometric nonlinearity in finite deformation and surface effects at nanoscale were taken into account to analyze the bending of nanowires subjected to a concentrated force. For simply supported beams and clamped-clamped beams, the influence of surface effects and geometric nonlinearity were discussed in detail. It is found that both surface effects and geometric nonlinearity tend to decrease the deflection of bending nanowires and thus increase the effective elastic modulus of nanowires. Surface effects yield the size dependent behavior of nanowires.展开更多

Coherent states are obtedned as the ground state of the forced system. Quantum fluctuations are calculated too. It is seen that geometric phases and quantum fluctuations are greatly affected by the non-commutativity of the space.展开更多

We focus on the lacuna-canalicular system. The interstitial fluid and the ions in it are regarded as sol- vent and others are treated as solute. The system has the characteristic of solvation process as well as non-equilibrium dynamics. The differential geometry theory of sur- faces is adopted. We use this theory to separate the macroscopic domain of solvent from the microscopic domain of solute. We also use it to couple continuum and discrete descriptions. The energy functionals are constructed and then the variational principle is applied to the energy functionals so as to derive desirable governing equations. We consider both long-range polar interactions and short-range nonpolar interactions. The solution of governing equations leads to the minimization of the total energy.展开更多
