Carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphene, …) have received significant attention from the academia and industry in the past two decades owing to their superior material properties. Mechanicians have played a major role in the fundamental understanding of the mechanical properties of carbon nanomaterials, and in their wide-range applications.
The July, 2013 issue of Journal of Applied Mechanics has a special section on Mechanics of Carbon Nanomaterials. It represents an important collection of papers from leading mechanicians in this field. The papers cover different materials, properties and applications, and will be good references for young mechanicians to learn the state-of-the-art on mechanics of carbon nanomaterials.
The special section contains invited papers from
Cate Brinson (Northwestern University),
Markus Buehler (MIT),
Marty Dunn (University of Colorado/NSF),
Huajian Gao (Brown University) and Nicola Pugno (University of Trento),
Rui Huang and Ken Liechti (University of Texas),
Teng Li (University of Maryland),
Bin Liu (Tsinghua University),
Alan Needleman (University of North Texas) and Julia Greer (Caltech),
Jizhou Song (University of Miami) and Yonggang Huang (Northwestern University),
Boris Yakobson (Rice University),
Wei Yang (Zhejiang University),
Yongwei Zhang (IHPC, Singapore)
and
Quanshui Zheng (Tsinghua University).
