Review
Researchers in MEMS and NEMS … are likely to find much of interest [in this book], … and to date there is no other book on MEMS and NEMS that is focused on the modeling process to the same extent. Graduate students of MEMS and NEMS will find the book to be between useful and indispensable. … [This] is a thought-provoking book for those with interests in modeling and is likely to have a longevity well beyond the usual half-life of a textbook.

…whether or not the next small thing turns out to be the next big thing, the topic offers interesting science to be explored, and here is a good book to guide you through it. …very broad scope … Generous references are given … Elasticity and heat transfer are perhaps the domains that are most prominent, although there is plenty of insight and interest in other areas, and the choice of core problems is excellent. …
Researchers in MEMS and NEMS, where modeling and simulation are increasingly recognized as important first steps in design, are likely to find much of interest … and to date there is no other book on MEMS and NEMS that is focused on the modeling process to the same extent. … Graduate students of MEMS and NEMS will find the book to be between useful and indispensable … well suited to a graduate course …
The writing style is very clear and lively, producing a readable--even vibrant--text. But above all, it is a thought-provoking book for those with interest in modeling and is likely to have a longevity well beyond the usual half-life of a textbook.

Book Description
Designing small structures necessitates an understanding of various device behaviors. The way to gain that understanding is to build, analyze, and interpret the proper mathematical models. Through such models, this book illuminates microscale and nanoscale phenomena, and thereby facilitates the design and optimization of micro- and nanoscale devices. Each chapter focuses on a set of devices that share a common feature. The authors abstract that feature and present the mathematical tools needed to model it. This treatment not only provides the background and tools needed to design and optimize microdevices but also helps develop the intuitive understanding that can lead to developing new and better designs and devices.
