This book offers a comprehensive and timely report of
size-dependent continuum mechanics approaches. Written by
scientists with worldwide reputation and established expertise, it
covers the most recent findings, advanced theoretical developments
and computational techniques, as well as a range of applications,
in the field of nonlocal continuum mechanics. Chapters are
concerned with lattice-based nonlocal models, Eringen's nonlocal
models, gradient theories of elasticity, strain- and stress-driven
nonlocal models, and peridynamic theory, among other topics. This
book provides researchers and practitioners with extensive and
specialized information on cutting-edge theories and methods,
innovative solutions to current problems and a timely insight into
the behavior of some advanced materials and structures. It also
offers a useful reference guide to senior undergraduate and
graduate students in mechanical engineering, materials science, and
applied physics.

This book offers a comprehensive treatment of nonlocal elasticity
theory as applied to the prediction of the mechanical
characteristics of various types of biological and non-biological
nanoscopic structures with different morphologies and functional
behaviour. It combines fundamental notions and advanced concepts,
covering both the theory of nonlocal elasticity and the mechanics
of nanoscopic structures and systems. By reporting on recent
findings and discussing future challenges, the book seeks to foster
the application of nonlocal elasticity based approaches to the
emerging fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It is a
self-contained guide, and covers all relevant background
information, the requisite mathematical and computational
techniques, theoretical assumptions, physical methods and possible
limitations of the nonlocal approach, including some practical
applications. Mainly written for researchers in the fields of
physics, biophysics, mechanics, and nanoscience, as well as
computational engineers, the book can also be used as a reference
guide for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as
practicing engineers working in a range of areas, such as
computational condensed matter physics, computational materials
science, computational nanoscience and nanotechnology, and
nanomechanics.
