Overview
- For the first time, a book addresses how results from one scale can be shifted or related to another scale, say from macro to micro or vice versa
- This is a new topic that is not well known up to now
- The disciplines in classical mechanics and physics rarely consider relating the results at the different scales such as macro to micro or to atomic. The new approach retains the use of the equilibrium mechanics within a scale level such that cross scale results can be connected by scale invariant criteria
- Engineers in different disciplines should be able to understand and use the results. They include those in physics, chemistry, mechanics, biology, material science, etc.
- The topics treated are of an interdisciplinary character
