A finite element analysis of the effects of geometrical shape on the elastic properties of chemical vapor deposited diamond nanowire

We report the effect of geometrical shape of diamond nanowire on its mechanical properties. Finite element modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics software is used to simulate various diamond nanowire with circular, square, rectangular, hexagonal and triangular cross-sections. A bending test under concen...
