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.

Continuum-kinematics-inspired peridynamics. Mechanical problems
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuum-kinematics-inspired approach for peridynamics (PD) is proposed, and the authors distinguish between three types of interactions, namely, one-neighbour interactions, two-nighbor interactions, and three-nerve interactions.

Postbuckling analysis of Timoshenko nanobeams including surface stress effect
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified continuum model is developed to predict the postbuckling deflection of nanobeams incorporating the effect of surface stress and the geometrical nonlinearity is considered in the analysis using the von Karman assumption.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of interface stress on the interaction between a screw dislocation and a nano-inhomogeneity was investigated by using the complex variable method, and the image force acting on the screw dislocations was obtained.

Quantifying the size-dependent effect of the residual surface stress on the resonant frequencies of silicon nanowires if finite deformation kinematics are considered
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in contrast to predictions from linear surface elastic theory, when nonlinear, finite deformation kinematics are considered, the residual surface stress does impact the resonant frequencies of silicon nanowires.
Nanoparticles under the influence of surface/interface elasticity
Changwen Mi,Demitris Kouris +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of surface/interface elasticity in the presence of nanoparticles, embedded in a semi-infinite elastic medium, was investigated by the technological significance of self-organization of strained islands in multilayered systems.

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.
