Mechanics of materials is an area focusing on quantitative description of the motion and deformation of solid materials subjected to forces, temperature changes, electrical voltage or other external ...

Due to their attractive mechanical, electrical and optical properties, nanomaterials have attracted a lot of research interest. We are especially interested in the mechanics of nanomaterials, ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

The field of geotechnical engineering has long recognized the critical role of water-rock interactions in influencing the ...
