Ultrahigh strength and shear-assisted separation of sliding nanocontacts studied in situ

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Takaaki Sato from the University of Nanostructure Physics, Albuquerque, NM, USA have published the research work: Ultrahigh strength and shear-assisted separation of sliding nanocontacts studied in situ, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
• what: In this work, a NEMS device is developed to measure normal and shear forces simultaneously, and contact formation, progressive shear, and separation are all observed while monitoring the normal and shear forces. The authors use the mean stress values at the contact interface and assume plane stress; this is not as accurate as a full stress analysis would . . .
