Overview

Nanomechanics 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.

Author Information

Krzysztof Kamil Żur is a Researcher at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Bialystok University of Technology. He received Ph.D. degree in theoretical and applied mechanics where his research was concerned with applications of meshless methods to the dynamics of discrete-continuous composite structures with a nonlinear distribution of parameters. His current research is related to numerical methods applied to mechanical and aerospace engineering problems and mechanics of materials and structures at different scales. S. Ali Faghidian received a Ph.D. degree in theoretical and applied mechanics where his Ph.D. research is concerned with the inverse problem of determination of eigenstrains and residual fields. His current research is focused on the rigorous nonlinear structural analysis of nanocomposite materials extensively exploited as essential constituents of new-generation Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS). He served as editor and recognized reviewer in prestigious internationally recognized journals and co-authored a series of recent high-quality contributions published in esteemed international journals with the predominant emphasis on the rigorous elastostatic and elastodynamic analysis of nano-structures in the framework of variationally consistent size-dependent theories of elasticity. He has earned the distinction of being among the top 2% of scientists worldwide in the field of Mechanical Engineering as measured by the impact of the research publications as identified in a worldwide database of top scientists; according to the study perfumed by Stanford University (1788-2022). He is also a member of the International Research Centre on Mathematics & Mechanics of Complex Systems (M&MOCS).
