We discuss how simulations of mechanical properties of materials require descriptions at many different length scales --- from the nanoscale where an atomic description is appropriate, through a mesoscale where dislocation based…

Experiments on Micro- and Nano-mechanical systems (M/NEMS) have shown that their behavior upon bending loads departs in many cases from the classical predictions using Euler-Bernoulli theory and Hooke law. This anomalous response has…

A theoretical description of the weakly nonlinear and mode-dependent dynamics of a nanoscale beam that is under intrinsic tension is developed. A full analysis of the dynamic range of the beam over a wide range of conditions is presented.…

Nanoscale materials display enhanced strength and toughness but also larger fluctuations and more pronounced size effects with respect to their macroscopic counterparts. Here we study the system size-dependence of the failure strength…

In this work, we employ a soft-sphere discrete element method with a cohesion implementation to model the dynamical process of sub-km-sized cohesive rubble piles under continuous spinup. The dependencies of critical spin periods $T_c$ on…

An experimental methodology is developed to evaluate size effects in nanovoids deformation under macroscopic uniaxial stress loading conditions. Quantitative evaluation of voids deformation as a function of voids size shows both a…

We develop and validate a computational approach to nanomagnets. It is built on the spin wave approximation to a Heisenberg ferromagnet whose parameters can be calculated from a first principles theory (e.g. density functional theory). The…

Magnetic properties with 3 different sizes of Ni nanochains, synthesized by a technique of wet chemical solution, have been investigated experimentally. The sample sizes are 50 nm, 75 nm, and 150 nm with a typical length of a few microns.…

Curved beams are basic structural components of Nano-Electro-Mechanical-Sistems (NEMS) whose design requires appropriate modelling of scale effects. In the present paper, the size-dependent static behaviour of curved elastic nano-beams is…

The modeling of the elastic properties of granular or nanoscale systems requires the foundations of the theory of elasticity to be revisited, as one explores scales at which this theory may no longer hold. The only cases for which a…

The kinetics and thermodynamics of structural transformations under pressure depend strongly on particle size due to the influence of surface free energy. By suitable design of surface structure, composition, and passivation it is possible,…

A rigidity theory is developed for bar-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose vertices are constrained to lie on concentric $d$-spheres with independently variable radii. In particular, combinatorial characterisations are established…

We develop and solve a continuum theory for the piezoelectric response of nanotubes under applied uniaxial and torsional stresses. We find that the piezoelectric response is controlled by the chiral angle, the aspect ratio, and two…

Numerical solution of the clamped-clamped (C-C) nanoarches based on the non-local theory of elasticity is analysed. The present study is helpful to understand the mechanical behaviour of the nanostructures. The nanoarch under consideration…

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are polycrystalline, rod-shaped nanoparticles isolated from cellulose, which have attracted increasing attention for a wide variety of applications. While there has been significant research into CNCs in…

The elastic properties of materials derive from their electronic and atomic nature. However, simulating bulk materials fully at these scales is not feasible, so that typically homogenized continuum descriptions are used instead. A seamless…

This report presents a systematic understanding of the nature behind the unusual behavior of a nanosolid, and a surface as well, in mechanics, thermodynamics, acoustics, optoelectronics, magnetism, dielectrics, atomic diffusivity and…

We present a procedure to map the constitutive laws of elasticity (both in the linear and nonlinear regime) onto a discrete atomic lattice and we apply the resulting elastic lattice model to investigate the strain field within an embedded…

The thermodynamic dislocation theory developed for non-uniform plastic deformations is used here for the analysis of twisted copper wires. With a small set of physical parameters that we expect to be independent of strain rate and…

The local variation in inter-atomic distances, or local lattice strain often influences significantly material properties of nanoparticles. Strain measurement with ~1% precision is provided by recent atomic-resolution electron microscopy.…
