Mechanics of Materials at the Micro & Nano Scale (ME-0125)

Spring 2026 · ME 0125 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

Mechanics of materials, in particular, soft materials when studied at the micro and nanoscale. Classical approaches to mechanics of materials, both static and dynamic properties. Extension of classical knowledge to the micro and nanoscale, with methods to measure the material mechanics at those scales. Practical examples of biological tissues, cells, and polymers in different environments. Recommendations: ME 21 and MATH 42, or Senior standing.
