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.

Imperfection sensitivity of the size-dependent postbuckling response of pressurized FGM nanoshells in thermal environments
TL;DR: In this paper, a variational approach was used to deduce the non-classical governing equations from boundary layer type ones and explicit expressions for the size-dependent radial postbuckling equilibrium paths of imperfect FGM nanoshells were proposed with the aid of a perturbation-based solution methodology.

Twisting of nanowires induced by anisotropic surface stresses
TL;DR: Using Gurtin's theory of surface elasticity, Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper quantitatively investigated the twisting deformation of nanowires due to anisotropic surface stresses, and showed that twisting lamellae in polymer spherulites, spiraled bacteria, and flagella can also be formed at micro-and nanoscales.

Size-dependent dispersion characteristics in piezoelectric nanoplates with surface effects
TL;DR: In this article, the surface effects on the dispersion characteristics of elastic waves propagating in an infinite piezoelectric nanoplate were investigated by using the surface PDE model, based on which the presence of surface stresses and surface electric displacements were taken into account in the modified mechanical and electric equilibrium relations.

Surface/interfacial anti-plane waves in solids with surface energy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss new type of surface anti-plane waves localized near the surface an elastic half-space and in the vicinity of plane interface between two half-spaces, when considering surface strain and kinetic energies.

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.
