    Evaluation of the strain energy density control volume for a nanoscale singular stress field

    No full text
    Fracture mechanics at micro- and nano-scale has become a very attractive topic in the last years. However, the results are still few, mostly because of the lack of effective analytical tools and of the difficult to conduct experimental tests at those scales. In this study, the authors report preliminary analysis on the application of the Strain Energy Density (SED) method at nano-scale. In detail, starting from mechanical properties experimentally evaluated on small single crystal silicon cracked specimens, a first evaluation of the control volume due to a nano-size singular stress field is carried out. If the extension of the SED approach at micro- nano-scale is given in near future, an easy and fast tool to design against fatigue will be provided for micro- nano-devices such as MEMS and NEMS, resulting in a significant technological impact and providing an easy and fast tool to conduct static and fatigue assessment at micro- and nano-scale

    Static assessment of nanoscale notched silicon beams using the averaged strain energy density method

    No full text
    This paper extends the averaged Strain Energy Density (SED) method to the static assessment of notched components at the nanoscale. First, in situ micromechanical testing of notched nano-cantilever beams made of single-crystal silicon is briefly reviewed. Then, an alternative strategy based on the Theory of Critical Distances is employed to evaluate the control volume and the critical SED. The method is later verified against experiments and FE analyses. The SED method successfully estimates the load at fracture of nanoscale notched specimens with a maximum discrepancy of 4.7%. Moreover, the method is mesh-independent, and therefore very coarse meshes can be employed in numerical analyses. Finally, the results are discussed on the basis of the breakdown of continuum fracture mechanics at the nanoscale. The extension of the SED approach to the micro- and nanoscales provides a fast and simple tool for the design of micro- and nanodevices
