Enables readers to understand how contact mechanics techniques are used to establish the material properties of soft condensed matter
The application of contact mechanics methods to soft condensed matter, such as polymers and soft biological materials, is the main focus of this book. By understanding the fundamentals of contact mechanics methods, readers will be able to characterize the mechanical behavior of polymers, gels, and biological materials at the microscale and nanoscale.
To provide a thorough background to the subject, the first section of the book covers the background theory associated with elasticity, viscoelasticity, and poroelasticity, providing a complete foundation for extending concepts to small scale mechanics of soft solids. Following this, the authors present quasistatic and dynamic indentation methods in general before exploring various methods for contact experiments at the microscale and nanoscale and their practical considerations. Because a number of complementary non-contact techniques are also used for similar purposes, a section at the end of the book is devoted to alternative methods. This ensures that readers comprehend the subject of nanomechanics and micromechanics of soft condensed matter overall.

Krystyn J. Van Vliet, MIT, USA
Krystyn Van Vliet’s laboratory group develops both experiments and computational simulations of nanoscale mechanical contact between interfaces, down to the level of atomic interactions. Her group’s early work has developed new technology, science, and applications based on integrated, nanoscale experiments and simulations in this emerging interdisciplinary area. Van Vliet serves as the Director of the MIT Center for Scientific Investigation of Materials in Extreme Environments and of the Nanomechanical Technology Lab. She has also implemented new programs to retain underrepresented minority students in advanced materials research.
