Elastic Beam Model and Bending Analysis of Silver Nanowires

Abstract

In this study, bending analysis of silver (Ag) modeled nanowires has been carried out for six-various boundary conditions. Silver nanowires have a great importance for Nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) technology. The displacement, rotation of cross-section and bending moment values of elastic beam models of silver nanowires under uniform load have been calculated. Numerical results have been presented as graphics and tables. The influence of boundary conditions to deformation and bending moment has been discussed. As the boundary conditions become rigid, the values of displacement and cross-sectional rotation under uniform load reduce.
