Abstract:
Mechanics and materials are essential elements in all of
the transcendent technologies that are the primary
drivers of the twenty first century and in the new
economy. The transcendent technologies include
nanotechnology, microelectronics, information technology
and biotechnology as well as the enabling and supporting
civil infrastructure systems and materials. Research
opportunities and challenges in mechanics and materials,
including nanomechanics, microscopy, radiation
scattering and other nanoscale metrologies, as well as
improved engineering and design of materials in the
exciting information age are presented and discussed.
