Abstract:

Nanomechanics of materials has been recognized as an effective way to study both the local mechanical behavior of heterogeneous structures at nanoscale and the overall constitutive relations of bulk materials. Nanocomposites are the typical examples that nanomechanics can be applied to. This minisymposium aims to provide a forum to discuss recent advances and address the future prospects in the field of nanomechanics and nanocomposites. Interested researchers are invited to submit one-page abstracts on topics which include, but are not limited to:

• Microstructural characterization of nanocomposites,
• Nanomechanics-based constitutive relations of nanocomposites,
• Structural – property relations of nanocomposites,
• Nanomechanical damage and fracture mechanics,
• Nanostructure-based computational modeling and simulation,
• Experimental characterization and validation on nanostructural deformation,
• Multiscale modeling, and
• Nanomechanics applied to emerging technologies and other novel materials.
