Micro and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) play a prominent role in our daily life. These devices have a significant impact on many areas of science and technology. MEMS and NEMS are based on fundamental theories of leading-edge technologies, engineering practice. Investigations conducted on MEMS and NEMS have obtained appreciable progress through extensive research work carried out by several researchers during the last few decades due to its various applications like oscillators, signal filters, switches, micro-pumps, micro-sensors, mechanical signal processing, drug delivery, nano therapy, scanning probe microscopes, resonators, micro and nanoscale smart robots, etc.
One of the important applications of the MEMS and NEMS are mechanical resonators because of their high sensitivity and fast response. MEMS and NEMS mechanical resonators, have recently received significant attention from the scientific community.
The purpose of this work is to investigate the mathematical problems associated with the thermoelastic interactions in MEMS and NEMS resonators as well as different mechanical and biological structures and based on various models of a generalized theory of thermoelasticity. This topic may provide some interesting information for scientists, researchers, and biologists in their experiments and investigations for improving their results as well as for developing a more realistic mathematical model.
This research topic covers the use of analytical, computational (e.g. FEM, BEM, mesh-free methods and others) modelling methods for rigid-body mechanics (e.g. dynamics, vibration, stability), structural mechanics, impact mechanics, strain localization and other effects of nonlinearity (e.g. large deflections, plasticity, fracture etc.), thermodynamics and materials processing generally form the core of the journal contents. It also emphasizes on new developments in thermoelasticity and theory/applications of thermal stresses. Under this topic, papers on experimental methods and on numerical methods, including finite element methods, are also welcome.
The following topics are covered: Mechanics of materials; thermodynamics; elasticity; plasticity and damage; micromechanics; stability; dynamics, vibrations and waves in solids; soft matter mechanics; metamaterial mechanics; contact mechanics, friction and wear; coupled problems; microstructural design and optimization; parameter identification for mechanics; biomechanics of soft and hard tissues; mechanics of MEMS and microsystems.
Keywords:
Micro/ Nano-mechanical Resonators, Thermoelasticity Theory, Thermoelastic vibration, Heat conduction, Thermoelastic Damping, Quality Factor, Memory-dependent derivative, Non-local Thermoelasticity, Skin Tissue
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
