[6] Theory of micro and nano medical device design. At the micro and nano scale, the mechanical properties of materials such as elastic modulus, fracture strength and inter-surface friction are very different from the macroscopic ones due to the influence of scale effect and surface effect. Understanding the mechanical behavior of micro and nanomaterials and structures is necessary for the design optimization of micro and nanomedical devices, and the related research is a cutting-edge issue of concern to both the theoretical and engineering communities***, and is the basis for the development of the discipline of micro and nanoscale mechanics. This laboratory will be engaged in the M/NEMS standard parts library, standard machining process aspects of modeling and collation, for the micro-nano manufacturing industry; in the purchase of a number of commercial design software, based on the secondary development of the design software, research and development of a number of micro-nano medical device design software with independent copyright.
