A Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model for Large Deflections of Fixed-Clamped Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may be used to create nanoscale compliant mechanisms that possess large ranges of motion relative to their device size. Many macroscale compliant mechanisms contain compliant elements that are subjected to fixed-clamped boundary conditions, indicating that they may be of valu...
