Introduction
The rapid development of micro- and nano-scale technologies has created increasing demand for accurate theoretical models capable of predicting the behavior of intelligent functional materials and structures. Classical continuum approaches are often insufficient for capturing size-dependent effects, surface energy contributions, and multiphysics interactions that become dominant at reduced length scales.

Research Contributions
Nonlocal and strain-gradient nanomechanics
A central aspect of Li’s research involves the incorporation of nonlocal elasticity and strain-gradient effects into the analysis of nanostructures. These approaches account for long-range interatomic interactions and material length-scale parameters that are not represented in classical elasticity theory.
Multiphysics coupling in intelligent materials
Li has also investigated the coupled behavior of intelligent functional materials subjected to simultaneous mechanical, electrical, thermal, and magnetic fields. These studies are relevant to piezoelectric nanostructures, magneto-electro-elastic composites, and functionally graded smart materials used in adaptive structures and precision engineering systems.
