Nanomechanics 纳米力学 (ACE)

Area of Research
研究方向

Recent advancement in nanomechanics has made good progress in the creation and/or integration of functional materials, devices, and systems at nanometer scale, as well as a study to discover novel phenomena and properties present only at nanometer scale. The establishment of nanomechanics serves as a fundamental engineering analysis tool to understand and characterize the behavior and properties of materials, devices, and systems at nanometer scale. At nanometer scales, the laws of classical continuum mechanics need to be re-modified to incorporate physical effects related to the nanoscale. The solution is in the development of nanomechanics using new models and advanced computational algorithms, which arises as a result of the link between classical continuum mechanics and atomistics simulations. Nanomechanics coupled with computational science is emerging as an essential engineering analysis toll for the design and fabrication of nanodevices and for the modeling of phenomena at nanometer scale, with applications in medicine, biotechnology, communications, fire-resistance, fire retardant, fire insulation, thermal stability and a host of other fields. In recent years, groups of scientists and technologists have performed numerous research activities in nanomechanics experiments and theoretical aspects.
