SMALL-SCALE MECH BEHAVIOR

Mechanics of small-scale materials and structures require nonlinear kinematics and/or nonlinear stress vs. strain constitutive relations to predict mechanical behavior. Topics include variational calculus, deformation and vibration of beam, strings, plates, and membranes; fracture, delamination, bulging, buckling of thin films, among others. Thermodynamics of solids will be reviewed to provide the basis for a detailed discussion of nonlinear elastic behavior as well as the study of the equilibrium and stability of surfaces.
