Abstract
The Mechanical properties of materials under finite deformation are very interesting and are important topics for material scientists, physicists, and mechanical and materials engineers. Many insightful experimental tests of the mechanical properties of such deformed materials have afforded an increased understanding of their behavior. Recently, since nanotechnologies have started to occupy the scientific spotlight, we must accept the challenge of studying these properties in small nano-scaled specimens and in perfect crystals under ideal conditions.
