This book delves into the intricate realm of mechanics and stress generation, particularly in the context of recent technological advancements. It explores the challenges faced in micrometer interconnects in solar photovoltaics (PV), next-gen energy storage devices, and multilayers of nano-scale composites for stretchable/flexible conductor technologies. To unravel the mechanics of materials at their extreme limits, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, in situ small-scale mechanical testing, and physics-based computational modeling/simulation have been employed extensively. The techniques discussed in this manuscript, which the author has led the pursuit of at the forefront, are highlighted as they have recently gained significant advantages. Extreme stress generation in these advanced materials often leads to new failure modes, impacting the reliability of the final product. By exploring the recent topics and diverse advanced case studies covered in this book, the reader gains an updated understanding of how new mechanics can and have been applied in Design-for-Reliability (DfR) for cutting-edge technological innovations. Additionally, it aids in developing better designs that can avoid the pitfalls of current practices.
