- Hyperelasticity with softening for modeling materials failure (2007, background): “This approach found applications in bio- and nano- mechanics concerning the problems of bone fracture (Gao et al, 2003; Ji and Gao, 2004) and strength of carbon nanotubes (Zhang et al, 2004; Volokh and Ramesh, 2006).”
- Mechanical properties of unidirectional nanocomposites with non-uniformly or randomly staggered platelet distribution (2010, background): “2, all platelets are assumed to be parallel to the z direction, and are shifted to every other neighbor by a distance of xL, which gives the overlap length (1 x)L, where L is the platelet length, 0rxo1; x¼ 12 degenerates to the case considered by Gao et al.

- Mechanical properties of nanostructure of biological materials (2004, background): “Despite these complicated hierarchical structures, we Mnd it most interesting to observe that the smallest building blocks in biological materials are generally designed at the nanoscale with nanometer sized hard inclusions embedded in the soft protein matrix (Gao et al., 2003, 2004; Ji and Gao, 200”
