Nanomechanics of Structures and Materials: Modeling and Analysis highlights and compares the advantages and disadvantages of varied modeling and analyzation methods for a broad array of different nanostructures and nanomaterials. It focuses on the behavior of media with nanostructural features where the classic continuum theory does not apply and augmented continuum theories such as nonlocal theory, gradient theory of elasticity, and the surface elasticity model must be used. These theories and models are discussed at length and their application to a variety of different materials and structures, including graphene, shells, arches, nanobeams, carbon nanotubes, porous materials, and more are covered.
