Modeling and Characterization of the Elastic Behavior of Interfaces in Nanostructured Materials: From an Atomistic Description to a Continuum Approach
In this dissertation, an innovative approach combining continuum mechanics and atomistic simulations is exposed to develop a nanomechanics theory for modeling and predicting the macroscopic behavior of nanomaterials. This nanomechanics theory exhibits the simplicity of the continuum formulation whil...
