Abstract: A mathematical framework is developed to study the mechanical behavior of material surfaces. The tensorial nature of surface stress is established using the force and moment balance laws. Bodies whose boundaries are material surfaces are discussed and the relation between surface and body stress examined. Elastic surfaces are defined and a linear theory with non-vanishing residual stress derived. The free-surface problem is posed within the linear theory and uniqueness of solution demonstrated. Predictions of the linear theory are noted and compared with the corresponding classical results. A note on frame-indifference and symmetry for material surfaces is appended.

TL;DR: In this paper, the postbuckling behaviors of doubly curved composite shells in hygrothermal environment are investigated by employing multiple scales perturbation method, and the governing equations of shallow shell are derived by implementing Hamilton's principle.

First vs. second gradient of strain theory for capillarity effects in an elastic fluid at small length scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare Mindlin's approach to more standard capillarity models based on a first strain gradient theory and Korteweg's equation, and propose a general micromorphic model as a numerical method to implement Mindlin’s theory in a finite element code.

The Linear Theory of Elasticity
Morton E. Gurtin
- 01 Jan 1973
TL;DR: Linear elasticity is one of the more successful theories of mathematical physics and its pragmatic success in describing the small deformations of many materials is uncontested The origins of the three-dimensional theory go back to the beginning of the 19th century and the derivation of the basic equations by Cauchy, Navier, and Poisson The theoretical development of the subject continued at a brisk pace until the early 20th century with the work of Beltrami, Betti, Boussinesq, Kelvin, Kirchhoff, Lame, Saint-Venant, Somigl

The Surface Tension of Solids
R Shuttleworth
- 01 May 1950
TL;DR: In this paper, a distinction is made between the surface Helmholtz free energy F, and the surface tension γ, which is the tangential stress (force per unit length) in the surface layer; this stress must be balanced either by external forces or by volume stresses in the body.
