Request a sales quoteNanomechanics of Structures and Materials highlights and compares the advantages and disadvantages of diverse modeling and analysis techniques across a wide spectrum of different nanostructures and nanomaterials. It focuses on the behavior of media with nanostructural features where the classic continuum theory ceases to hold and augmented continuum theories such as nonlocal theory, gradient theory of elasticity, and the surface elasticity model should be adopted. These generalized frameworks, tailored to address the intricate characteristics inherent at the nanoscale level, are discussed in depth, and their application to a variety of different materials and structures, including graphene, shells, arches, nanobeams, carbon nanotubes, porous materials, and more, is covered.
- Outlines the advantages and limitations of size-dependent continuum theories and modeling techniques when studying fundamental problems in the nanomechanics of structures and materials
- Discusses various analytical and numerical tools for identifying nanomechanical defects in structures
- Explores a diverse array of structures and materials, including graphene, shells, arches, nanobeams, carbon nanotubes, and porous materials
