The symposium brought together the most active scientists working in this area from the fields of solid mechanics, composites, physics, and materials science and summarized the state-of-the-art research results with a view to advancing the frontiers of mechanics and materials physics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNanomaterials and heterostructures have a large fraction of their atoms at surfaces and interfaces. These atoms see a different environment to those in the interior and can have a substantial effect on the overall mechanical and physical behaviour of a material. The last decade has witnessed a growing interest in the study of surfaces and how the surface behaviour couples with that of the bulk to determine the overall system response. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe papers in this proceedings cover: extension of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics to the nano-scale; multiscale simulations; surface effects in monolithic nano-scale elements and nanostructures; mechanical and physical properties of nanomaterials and heterostructures; self-assembly, etc. The surface stress effect is inherently a multidisciplinary and fertile field; the Symposium truly reflects these features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis IUTAM Symposium was also dedicated to Professor Bhushan L Karihaloo of Cardiff University on his impending retirement, in recognition of his contributions to the fields of solid mechanics and nanomechanics, and to IUTAM activities in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277107978391,"sku":"9789401783736","price":10900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789401783736.webp?v=1769287503","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/iutam-symposium-on-surface-effects-in-the-mechanics-of-nanomaterials-and-heterostructures-proceedings-of-the-iutam-symposium-held-in-beijing-china-9789401783736","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
