Sensitivity analysis of nanoparticles manipulation based on different friction models

► We model nanoparticle displacement using the friction models of HK and LuGre. ► We compare the effect of accurate friction modeling with the previous model. ► Increasing the surfaces energy increases the critical force and time of manipulation. ► Increasing the width and thickness lead to increase the force and decrease the time. ► Increasing the length and effective elastic module decrease the force and time.
