Mechanics of Carbon Nanotubes

 
I would like to introduce a new monograph, which can serve as a textbook for a module on nanoscale mechanics in regular engineering courses. The new still emerging field of nanomechanics is, probably, one of the simplest parts in the conceptual foundation of nanoscale sciences and nanotechnology. A first nationally distributed short course "Mechanics of Carbon Nanotubes" had been developed in 2001 and presented at the 2001 Annual ASME Congress when I was a Senior Staff Scientist at the ICASE Institute at the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA. In 2011, exactly ten years after the first presentation of that short course, a new book with the same title "Mechanics of Carbon Nanotubes" jhu.md/tWET33 has been published by Nanodesigns Press.
