Title of the talk

Modeling of Micro and Nano-scale Problems

Abstract

Most of the engineering problems can be cracked experimentally. We can attain solutions to the problems through carefully designed experiments. In some circumstances, however, due to difficulties in experiments or sometime short of resources, computational modeling and simulation become an important role in capturing the fine mechanical and structural behaviors and revealing the delicate material properties of many engineering problems. This talk will mainly share some of my selected recent works, both experimentally and computationally, in modeling of micro and nano-scale problems.
