Session 11: NANOMECHANICS
Note: We assume all delegates attend the full 3-day conference. The times/dates shown on the website are tentative for conference scheduling, and subject to change before 20th July 2015, Final schedule will be confirmed on 21st July 2015.
Mechanical properties are crucial to better understand the final properties of applicable materials. From this point of view Nanomechanics is an important Nanoscience branch, which allows to study fundamental mechanical properties at the nanoscale. This knowledge is key point for the application of novel materials.
All research investigations done recently in the field of Nanomechanics are welcome to be discussed in this session in order to better understand mechanical behavior of the materials at the nanoscale.
