Nanomechanics is a branch of nanoscience studying fundamental mechanical (elastic, thermal and kinetic) properties of physical systems at the nanometer scale. Nanomechanics has emerged on the cross-road of classical mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, materials science, and quantum chemistry. As an area of nanoscience, nanomechanics provides a scientific foundation of nanotechnology.

OBS

nanomechanics: noun used with a singular verb.

La nanomécanique se propose d’étudier et de caractériser le comportement mécanique de nanostructures en réponse à diverses conditions de charge. L'objectif principal de cette nanoscience est de mieux comprendre et de concevoir de nouveaux matériaux plus légers, plus durs, plus résistants à l'usure, à la fracture et à la fatigue. Les applications potentielles concernent de nombreux secteurs dont l'automobile, l'aéronautique, l'espace, les industries de mise en forme des matériaux, le textile et l'habillement, la médecine, la défense et l'énergie.
