People dream about the possibility for electronics/devices that can be folded or deformed into arbitrary shapes. Recent nanotechnology advances in materials, processes and mechanics have made this dream become reality. For example, researchers have developed applications or prototype demonstrations of electronic paper, curved screens, foldable or rollable displays, flexible solar cells, tunable lens, artificial muscles, skin sensors and wearable biomedical devices for health monitoring. Now this development has become an important direction for the future electronics/devices/machines. While we celebrate these innovative demonstrations, tremendous limitations are being realized that require quantitative and accurate characterization of the devices and materials, particularly the structure-property-function relationships of these materials and devices under different modes of mechanical deformations or their combinations.

人们梦想着可以折叠或变形成任意形状的电子设备/设备。最近纳米技术在材料、工艺和机械方面的进步使这一梦想成为现实。例如，研究人员已经开发了电子纸、曲面屏幕、可折叠或可滚动显示器、柔性太阳能电池、可调透镜、人造肌肉、皮肤传感器和用于健康监测的可穿戴生物医学设备的应用或原型演示。现在，这一发展已经成为未来电子/设备/机器的一个重要方向。在我们庆祝这些创新演示的同时，人们也意识到了巨大的局限性，这需要对器件和材料进行定量和准确的表征，特别是这些材料和器件在不同的机械变形模式或其组合下的结构-性能-功能关系。
