Mechanical Self-Assembly: technology and purposes introduces a singular classification of self-assembly pushed by way of mechanical forces. This publication discusses self-assembly in a variety of varieties of small fabric constructions together with skinny motion pictures, surfaces, and micro- and nano-wires, in addition to the practice's capability software in micro and nanoelectronics, MEMS/NEMS, and biomedical engineering. The mechanical self-assembly technique is inherently fast, basic, and within your means, in addition to available to a number of fabrics, reminiscent of curved surfaces for forming 3-dimensional small constructions. Mechanical self-assembly is complementary to, and infrequently provide merits over, the conventional micro- and nano-fabrication.

The solid lines are intermediate values that were obtained numerically. (c) Two stable configurations of a wide strip cut at 60 . In each of the two configurations the sheet bends along a different principal curvature ~ ~ transition is from minimal surfaces at w<<1 to developable surfaces at w>>1. In the second limit a bending dominated boundary layer is clearly detected and the helices are bi-stable (Fig. 8c). Finally, the measured variation of pitch and radius with y is also in excellent agreement with the calculated values [34].
3 Thin Sheets In the rest of this chapter we limit our discussion to thin growing elastic sheets— structures with one dimension—the thickness, t (in the z direction), much smaller than the other two (x- and y-directions). First, we will look at such ordinary (not growing) bodies. For such bodies we can define their mid surface, z ¼ 0, and their upper and lower “faces” at Æ t=2. The thinness of these bodies allowed the derivation of two-dimensional (2D) effective theories—the theories of plates and shells [6–8].
