Nanomechanics of Structures and Materials 1st Edition

Capture the future of small-scale engineering with Nanomechanics of Structures and Materials, 1st Edition by Krzysztof Kamil Żur and S Ali Faghidian. This authoritative text delivers a clear, rigorous introduction to the mechanics that govern structures and materials at the nanoscale, blending theory, modeling and practical insight for researchers and practicing engineers.

Begin with an accessible yet sophisticated overview of size-dependent behavior, surface effects, and multiscale modeling. The book guides readers through continuum and atomistic perspectives, enriched by analytic solutions and contemporary computational approaches that illuminate how nano-features alter stiffness, strength and stability. Detailed discussions of beams, plates, shells and composite nanostructures make complex topics approachable without sacrificing technical depth.

Engineered for relevance, this edition addresses challenges across materials science, mechanical and civil engineering, and applied physics—helpful for graduate students, academic researchers, and R&D professionals working on nanocomposites, MEMS/NEMS, or advanced structural materials. Clear explanations and practical examples bridge theory and application, empowering readers to predict nanoscale responses and design more reliable, high-performance systems.

Whether you are based in North America, Europe, Asia or elsewhere, this book is a vital resource for advancing nanomechanics knowledge and practice. Concise, well-organized chapters and up-to-date references make it suitable as a course textbook and a hands-on reference for project work.

For anyone seeking a modern, comprehensive guide to nanoscale structural behavior, Nanomechanics of Structures and Materials 1st Edition offers the technical clarity and practical tools to accelerate innovation in materials and structural design.
