This text provides an introduction, at the level of an advanced
student in engineering or physics, to the field of nanomechanics
and nanomechanical devices. It provides a unified discussion of
solid mechanics, transducer applications, and sources of noise and
nonlinearity in such devices. Demonstrated applications of these
devices, as well as an introduction to fabrication techniques, are
also discussed. The text concludes with an overview of future
technologies, including the potential use of carbon nanotubes and
other molecular assemblies.
