Pan Stanford Publishing (Research and Markets): Fracture Nanomechanics

E-Book, July 2011, Pages: 304, Price: EUR131 / $180 / GBP112 / CNY1,146 http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/852c5e/fracture_nanomecha

This book discuses the fracture behavior of nano/atomic elements (nanofilms, nanowires, and so on) and fo- cuses on the initiation and propagation of interface crack and mechanical instability criterion of atomic struc- tures. This covers the fundamentals and the applicability of the top-down (conventional fracture mechanics to nanoscale) and bottom-up (atomic mechanics including ab initio simulation) concepts. New areas, such as multiphysics characteristics of nanoelements, are introduced as well.
