Mechanical Analyses of Nanoscale Beams

A material structure assembled from a layer or cluster of atoms with the size of the order of nanometers is called a nanostructure. There are many events such as the discovery of scanning electron microscopy that gave fillip to nanotechnology research. However, with the discovery of a new allotrope of carbon in the late 1980s and early 1990s, namely the fullerene, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, a...
