This volume constitutes the proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium
on Surface Effects in the Mechanics of Nanomaterials and
Heterostructures, held in Beijing, 8-12 August, 2010. The symposium
brought together the most active scientists working in this area
from the fields of solid mechanics, composites, physics, and
materials science and summarized the state-of-the-art research
results with a view to advancing the frontiers of mechanics and
materials physics.
Nanomaterials and heterostructures have a large fraction of
their atoms at surfaces and interfaces. These atoms see a different
environment to those in the interior and can have a substantial
effect on the overall mechanical and physical behaviour of a
material. The last decade has witnessed a growing interest in the
study of surfaces and how the surface behaviour couples with that
of the bulk to determine the overall system response.
The papers in this proceedings cover: extension of continuum
mechanics and thermodynamics to the nano-scale; multiscale
simulations; surface effects in monolithic nano-scale elements and
nanostructures; mechanical and physical properties of nanomaterials
and heterostructures; self-assembly, etc. The surface stress effect
is inherently a multidisciplinary and fertile field; the Symposium
truly reflects these features.
This IUTAM Symposium was also dedicated to Professor Bhushan L
Karihaloo of Cardiff University on his impending retirement, in
recognition of his contributions to the fields of solid mechanics
and nanomechanics, and to IUTAM activities in general.
