Effective Potentials and Elastic Properties in the Lattice-Element Method: Isotropy and Transverse Isotropy
(2017)Lattice approaches have emerged as a powerful tool to capture the effective mechanical behavior of heterogeneous materials using harmonic interactions inspired from beam-type stretch and rotational interactions between a ... -
Effect of Surface Elasticity on the Elastic Response of Nanoporous Gold
(2017)In this work, the effect of surface elasticity on the effective elastic properties of nanoporous gold is studied. To this end, a theoretical framework for surface elasticity effects in submicron-sized solids is implemented ... -
Microscopic Toughness of Viscous Solids via Scratching: From Amorphous Polymers to Gas Shale
(2017)Rate effects are dominant in many fracture processes including the separation of mineralized collagen fibrils under tension, the failure of bulk metallic glasses under compression or the natural fracturing of layered ... -
Methodology for Estimation of Nanoscale Hardness via Atomistic Simulations
(2017)Statistical mechanics has provided powerful techniques to measure mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale and paved the way for bottom-up computational materials design. The introduction of such techniques in ... -
Inappropriate Effects of Conventional Nonlocal Constitutive Laws on Three-Dimensional Nonlocal Elasticity Solution of Nanoplates Buckling Problem
(2017)In this paper, conventional nonlocal constitutive equations are examined in the three-dimensional buckling problem of rectangular nanoplates. Those constitutive equations that are frequently used in mechanical analysis of ... -
Mode-I Fracture Toughness Prediction of Diamond at the Nanoscale

Mechanics of Metal-Nanocomposites at Multiple Length Scales: Case of Al-BNNT
(2017)Metal-nanocomposites are drawing attention of the composites community due to improvements in stiffness, strength, crack-bridging ability, and resistance to creep and fracture. The analysis of nanocomposites involves studies ... -
Equivalent Inclusion Approach for Micromechanics Estimates of Nanocomposite Elastic Properties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Classical micromechanics approaches for heterogeneous media assume perfect bonding between phases, implying that both displacement and stress vectors are continuous across the interface between the phases. When nanoinclusions ... -
Energetic Size Effect Law at the Microscopic Scale: Application to Progressive-Load Scratch Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A scratch test consists in pulling a diamond stylus across the surface of a weaker material; it is widely applied in several fields of science and engineering, including polymer damage, metal wear, thin-film quality control, ... -
Mechanical Properties of Hydrogen Edge–Passivated Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Uniaxial tension of chiral graphene nanoribbons (GNR) with and without edge hydrogen passivation are simulated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study their mechanical properties. The results demonstrate that ... -
Nanoscale Morphology of Kerogen and In Situ Nanomechanical Properties of Green River Oil Shale
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Oil shale is an important energy resource that is immensely underutilized due to the cost of extraction of crude oil from oil shale as a result of limited scientific understanding of the locking of kerogen, the precursor ... -
Creep of Lubricated Layered Nano-Porous Solids and Application To Cementitious Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A variety of geomaterials, such as cementitious or clay-based materials, has on the nano-scale a layered microstructure that can contain fluid in its nano-porous space. The creep of such nano-scale basic units is what ...
