Size-dependent mechanical behaviour of nanowires: an overview

Submitted by MNasr on

A recent study reviews achievements made in the determination of the size‐dependent mechanical properties of nanowires. Covering both measurement techniques and computational approaches, data reported in the literature are summarized for a variety of nanowires. With the description of the landscape for the future utilization of nanowires in engineering applications, contradictions, and convergence points are highlighted for research needs and opportunities: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333929318_A_Review_on_Size-Dependent_Mechanical_Properties_of_Nanowires
