Course Objective

The course mainly concerns with the dynamical behaviour of nanostructures such as nano-wires, -beams and -plates at both atomic and continuum scales. In the course, one can find some of deformation theories and related basic mathematical derivations in Newtonian dynamics. Certain improvements and modifications in classical deformation theories, performed to provide small scale effects on elastic properties of nanostructures, are presented. The course also introduces several state-of-the-art analytical and numerical methods for vibration analysis of nanostructures having sphere, cube and pyramid shaped silisium, germanium and carbon nano materials
