The emergence of novel functional nanocomponents such as nanotubes, nanobelts, nanodisks, nanowires, nanocoils, and nanocoatings and nanostructured materials such as nanocrystals and nanocomposites has excited active research at the nanoscale. Computational analyses using atomistic and continuum approaches have been increasingly used along with synthesis and experimental analyses. One trend is the convergence of physics, mechanics and materials science. This symposium is intended to bring together researchers from the mechanics, physics, and materials communities with a focus on offering a glimpse at some of the state-of-the-art research on the mechanical and thermal behaviors of materials at the nanoscale. Topics to be covered include:

  • Atomistic & continuum modeling of nanoscale deformation & failure
  • Mechanical & thermal behaviors of nanocomponents & nanostructured materials
  • Experimental characterization of nanoscale deformation, fracture & fatigue
  • Nanoindentation
  • Superelasticity & plasticity of nanowires, nanobelts, & nanotubes
  • Size effect at the nanoscale
  • Deformation & failure of nanocomposites & nanostructured materials
  • Effects of synthesis & fabrication on nanoscale behavior
