Recent advances in microprojectile impact tests have opened a new route to explore the behaviors of nanomaterials under extreme dynamic conditions. For example, impact tests have revealed that the specific penetration energies of ultrathin polymer films are remarkably high compared to the energies of conventional protective materials. The current experimental techniques are, however, unable to elucidate some of the complex atomistic mechanisms associated with the penetration process, which can only be realized through atomistic simulations.

Our new review article [open acess] on damage, void evolution, and fatigue life prediction models. We tried to include everything done in the last 20 years. My apologies if we missed your work.

Abstract:

If you are curious about application of machine learning techniques in mechanics problems, our latest paper is probably interesting for you. In this paper, we are proposing a micromechanics-based artificial neural networks model for short fiber composites.

Dear iMechanicians, 

Morphology instability of substrate-supported carbon atomic layers can be harnessed to modulate physical properties and functions, which has drawn interesting attention. Curvature would be a critical factor affecting surface morphology and its stability characteristics. Infilled carbon nanotubes, that is to say carbon monolayers with curved geometry and infilled substrates, namely nanosleeves, widely exist in the literature and have many potential applications.

Thanks to Mechanics of Materials,  here is a different way to look at viscoelasticity and Hooke's law.
