Fracture Nanomechanics.
Small Structures In The Micro/nano-meter Scale Such As Electronic/optic Devices And Mems/nems Obtain Been Developed And The Size Of Their Elements Approaches The Nano/atomic Scale.
Since The Conventional 'fracture Mechanics' Is Based On The Continuum-body Approximation, The Applicability To The Nanoscale Components Is Questionable.
Moreover, For Describing The Fraccture Behaviour Of Atomic Components (e.
g.
Atomic Wire And Carbon Nanotube), It Is Necessary To Understand Not Only The Involuntary Parameters (e.
g.
Stress And Strain) uBt Also The Fracture Criterion In The Atomic Scale.
This Book Conncentrates On The Fracture Behaviour Of Nano/atomic Elements (nanofilms, Nanowires And So On) Focusing On The Initiation And Propagation Of Interface Crack And Mechanical Instability Standard Of Atomic Structures.
This Covers The Fundamentals And The Applicability Of Top-down Concept (conventional Fracture Mechanics To Naboscale) And Bttom-up Ones (atomic Mechanics Including Ab Initio Simulation).
New Areas, So As Multi-physics Characteristics Of Nanoelements, Are Introduced As Well.
