Researchers in MEMS and NEMS are likely to find much of interest [in this book], and to date there is no other book on MEMS and NEMS that is focused on the modeling process to the same extent. Graduate students of MEMS and NEMS will find the book to be between useful and indispensable. [This] is a thought-provoking book for those with interests in modeling and is likely to have a longevity well beyond the usual half-life of a textbook. - SIAM Review, Vol. 46, No. 1 Although the exposition is primarily intended for the engineering community applied mathematicians can also get a lot of inspiration [from this book]. The large number of exercises makes it suitable also as a textbook for graduate students . - EMS Newsletter whether or not the next small thing turns out to be the next big thing, the topic offers interesting science to be explored, and here is a good book to guide you through it. very broad scope Generous references are given Elasticity and heat transfer are perhaps the domains that are most prominent, although there is plenty of insight and interest in other areas, and the choice of core problems is excellent. Researchers in MEMS and NEMS, where modeling and simulation are increasingly recognized as important first steps in design, are likely to find much of interest and to date there is no other book on MEMS and NEMS that is focused on the modeling process to the same extent. Graduate students of MEMS and NEMS will find the book to be between useful and indispensable well suited to a graduate course The writing style is very clear and lively, producing a readable--even vibrant--text. But above all, it is a thought-provoking book for those with interest in modeling andis likely to have a longevity well beyond the usual half-life of a textbook. - SIAM Review, March 2004 Starting from the deep principles of physical scaling and dimensional analysis, Pelesko and Bernstein introduce a wide range of MEMS and NEMS devices to motivate their review of the essential continuum mathematical physics of coupled-domain micro-scaled devices. Their book is bound to become the standard text for modelers of MEMS and NEMS, as well as an essential volume on the bookshelves of all MEMS and NEMS designers. Given the book's sophisticated, yet straightforward, approach to the fundamental physics of several energy domains (thermal, elastic, electrostatic, magnetic, and fluid) the volume can be recommended as the basis for general courses in applied science and engineering. - Seldon B.
