Reviews

This book makes an important and timely contribution to the field of fracture mechanics at the nanometer scale through a coherent description of the subject that combines theory, experiment and atomistic simulation. A large number of vivid figures and a comprehensive list of references make the book easy to read and to follow, which would benefit both students and researchers greatly. -Prof. Tong-Yi Zhang, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong The fracture mechanism at the nano-scale is quite different from that at the macro-scale, but it is not well understood yet. This book covers the authors' recent outstanding works and the representative advances in the world of fracture nanomechanics. Therefore, it surely will be a very valuable book for researchers in this field. -Prof. J. Q. Xu, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China This monograph provides a new insight into fracture mechanics for nano/micro-scale components in various electronic devices or mechanical systems. Among others, it is noteworthy that the book features new challenges in the evaluation of fracture toughness of various tiny structures. -Prof. Seyoung Im, KAIST, Korea This unique book offers the perspectives of the fracture behavior of nano- and atomic elements such as electronic and optic devices and MEMS/NEMS. Both continuum mechanics and atomic mechanics have been extensively presented with the authors' new findings. This book serves as an excellent reference for scientists and engineers in the fields. -Prof. Kikuo Kishimoto,Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
