In recent ten years, Professor Yin's research group is mainly interested in Biomechanics, Cell Mechanics, Bionic Mechanics, Fractal Geometry and Mechanics in Biology, Micro/Nano Mechanics. The general equilibrium theory, stability theory and shape transition mechanism for biomembranes are established. The second class gradient operator (or shape gradient operator) on 2D Riemann curved surfaces are defined. The second class of integral theorems on curved surfaces is proved. The equivalences between the Steiner minimal trees and the stable equilibrium biomembrane nanotube networks or spontaneously Y-branched carbon nanotubes are confirmed. The concept of super carbon nanotube is defined. The geometric characteristics of the fractal super tubes are made clear. The concept of fractal super fibers is suggested. The geometric invariabilities and the growth and topological evolution modes of the fractal super fibers are disclosed.
