Covers the introduction to Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), including operating principles, elements, scaling laws, silicon choice, sensors, and actuators.
Explores rigorous upper and lower bounds for isotropic phase composites and their microstructure arrangement, focusing on laminated plates and stress-strain relationships.
Explores shock-induced amorphization in ultrahard ceramics, investigating the anomalous deformation of boron carbide and comparing Hugoniot curves with experimental data.
Explores deformation and rupture of materials at low temperature, focusing on crystallographic relationships, mechanical twins, and twinning mechanisms.
