Nanoscale and nanostructured materials have exhibited different physical
properties from the corresponding macroscopic coarse-grained materials due to
the size confinement. As a result, there is a need for new techniques to probe
the mechanical behavior of advanced materials on the small scales. Micro and
Nano Mechanical Testing of Materials and Devices presents the latest advances in
the techniques of mechanical testing on the micro- and nanoscales, which are
necessary for characterizing the mechanical properties of low-dimensional
materials and structures.
Written by a group of internationally recognized authors, this book covers
topics such as:
* Techniques for micro- and nano- mechanical characterization;
*
