Nanomechanics of carbon nanotubes based nanoscale devices

Owing to their exceptional mechanical properties, carbon nanotubes have recently emerged as promising candidates to construct nearly wear-less nanomechanical devices that can operate at ultra-high gigahertz frequencies. In this work, we specifically focus on simple machine components such as linear...
