The main aim of this dissertation is to study the structure and dynamics of molecular electronic devices in vacuum and in solvent environment, with special focus on the mechanical properties and cross-section geometries of the break-junction down to the atomic level. The problem statement relies...
This dissertation aims at developing theories and methods to simulate dynamic crack propagation in large deformation. The analytical solution of linear elastic fracture mechanics is utilized to find the shape of the crack surface after deformation. It is discovered that the deformed shape of a...
