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.
