Abstract :
In this paper, an innovative approach combining continuum mechanics and atomistic simulations is presented to develop a nanomechanics theory for modeling and predicting the macroscopic behavior of nanomaterials. This nanomechanics theory exhibits the simplicity of the continuum formulation while taking into account the discrete atomic structure and interaction near surfaces/interfaces.
