The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The elastic modulus of single-wall carbon nanotubes: a continuum analysis incorporating interatomic potentials (2002, methodology): “Gao et al. (2001) studied dynamic fracture at the nanometer scale via both molecular dynamics simulations and continuum mechanics analysis.”
Modern topics and challenges in dynamic fracture (2005, methodology): “Starting from the atomic point of view, Gao et al. (2001) demonstrated existence of intersonic cracks under shear dominated conditions, while Gerde and Marder (2001) demonstrated the existence of self-healing cracks under mixed-mode conditions.”
Conditions governing the occurrence of supershear ruptures under slip-weakening friction (2007, background): “The continuum analysis of Gao et al. [2001] is similar in spirit to that taken in this work, in that a series of selfsimilar solutions are derived to approximate the stress field in front of a propagating sub-Rayleigh crack.”
