Course Objective

The students will have a deep understanding of selected topics in nano mechanics and should also be able to use this knowledge on their research problems.The aim of this course is to give the students an overview of nano mechanics. At the beginning indentation, surface forces and normal forces are introduced followed by the description of the adhesion forces. The outline of nanomechanical properties of solid surfaces and thin films are described with the compaction problems and suggested solutions. Data analyses, modes of deformation and computer simulations are explained
