Modelling and mechanics of carbon-based nanostructured materials

This volume sets out the principles of applied mathematical modelling in the topical area of nanotechnology.

It is purposely designed to be self-contained, giving readers all the necessary modeling principles required for working with nanostructures.

The unique physical properties observed at the nanoscale are often counterintuitive, sometimes astounding researchers and thus driving numerous investigations into their special properties and potential applications.

Typically, existing research has been conducted through experimental studies and molecular dynamics simulations.

This book goes beyond that to provide new avenues for study and review.
