Research in nano and cell mechanics has received much attention from the
scientific community as a result of society needs and government
initiatives to accelerate developments in materials, manufacturing,
electronics, medicine and healthcare, energy, and the environment.
Engineers and scientists are currently engaging in increasingly complex
scientific problems that require interdisciplinary approaches. In this
regard, studies in this field draw from fundamentals in atomistic scale
phenomena, biology, statistical and continuum mechanics, and multiscale
modeling and experimentation. As a result, contributions in these areas
are spread over a large number of specialized journals, which prompted
the Editors to assemble this book.
Nano and Cell Mechanics: Fundamentals and Frontiers brings together
many of the new developments in the field for the first time, and covers
fundamentals and frontiers in mechanics to accelerate developments in
nano- and bio-technologies.
Key features:
- Provides an overview of recent advances in nano and cell mechanics.
- Covers experimental, analytical, and computational tools used to
investigate biological and nanoscale phenomena.
- Covers fundamentals and frontiers in mechanics to accelerate
developments in nano- and bio-technologies.
- Presents multiscale-multiphysics modeling and experimentation
techniques.
- Examines applications in materials, manufacturing, electronics,
medicine and healthcare.
Nano and Cell Mechanics: Fundamentals and Frontiers is written by
internationally recognized experts in theoretical and applied mechanics,
applied physics, chemistry, and biology. It is an invaluable reference
for graduate students of nano- and bio-technologies, researchers in
academia and industry who are working in nano and cell mechanics, and
practitioners who are interested in learning about the latest analysis
tools. The book can also serve as a text for graduate courses in
theoretical and applied mechanics, mechanical engineering, materials
science, and applied physics.
