Mechanical Behavior and Vibration of Nano-Scaled Rods, Beams, and Frames

This book discusses how the tiniest building blocks—structures thousands of times thinner than a human hair—behave when used in the most advanced technology, such as computer chips, medical robots, and high-precision sensors. At such small sizes, the laws of physics change, so scientists need new methods to predict how these parts will move, bend, and vibrate. The authors explain, in accessible la...
