The theory of doublet mechanics is presented in this text. It features applications including micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), granular and particulate media, nanotubes and peptide arrays. Novel results are reported in the text, including the identification of a new class of dispersive surface waves and the presentation of methods for the experimental determination of the essential microstructural parameters. The relationships between doublet mechanics, lattice dynamics, and contnuum theories are examined.

Product Description: Less than twenty years ago photolithography and medicine were total strangers to one another. They had not yet met, and not even looking each other up in the classi?eds. And then, nucleic acid chips, micro?uidics and microarrays entered the scene, and rapidly these strangers became indispensable partners in biomedicine...read more
