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. 2, record 4, English, - nanomechanics

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. 3, record 4, French, - nanom%C3%A9canique

A fracture resulting from repeated, relatively trivial, trauma to an otherwise normal bone. It occurs not as a sudden break in bony continuity but as the result of alteration of the bone in the form of gradual local dissolution.
