In this paper, we discuss various formats of gradient elasticity and their performance in static
and dynamic applications. Gradient elasticity theories provide extensions of the classical …

This is a modest contribution dedicated to the work and virtue of George Weng, a prominent
figure in material mechanics and a dear intellectual friend. The paper starts with the basics …

Due to the excellent thermoelectric performance, bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) compounds are
highly promising for the thermoelectric conversion in the room temperature range. However …

Abstract Bismuth telluride (Bi 2 Te 3)-based thermoelectric materials have been
commercially utilized for refrigeration and energy conversion at room/near room …

The advent of high-resolution electron and scanning probe microscopy imaging has opened
the floodgates for acquiring atomically resolved images of bulk materials, 2D materials, and …

Due to the wide applications of nanowires as a main component of nano-scale electronic
devices, a lot of attentions have thus far been paid to study their relevant problems. Knowing …

The geometric phase analysis (GPA), an important image-based deformation measurement
method, has been used at both micro-and nano-scale. However, when a deformed image …

The various mathematical models developed in the past to interpret the behavior of natural
and manmade materials were based on observations and experiments made at that time …

The usual continuum theories are inadequate in predicting the mechanical behavior of
solids in the presence of small defects and stress concentrators; it is well known that such …

The paper assesses the applicability of advanced atomic resolution displacement
measurement techniques to characterize dislocation character in metallic materials using …
