Special Session 4
GENERALIZED MODELS OF CONTINUA AND STRUCTURES WITH APPLICATIONS TO MICRO- AND NANOMECHANICS (SS4)
The development of nanostructured materials continues to move forward the limits of micro- and nanomechanics, focusing on improvements in synthesis, structural design, characterization techniques, and extrapolative modeling. This session aims to bond experimental insights and theoretical frameworks by focusing on the generalized modeling of continua and discrete structures across multiple length scales from atomistic to continuum.
Particular emphasis will be placed on the integration of experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches to study 0D (e.g., nanospheres, clusters), 1D (e.g., nanowires, nanotubes), 2D (e.g., nanosheets, thin films), and 3D (e.g., nanocrystals, porous networks) nanomaterials. Contributions are encouraged that explore novel formulations of continuum and multiscale models, as well as studies interpreting the relationship between geometry and mechanical behaviour at the nanoscale.
