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.

Phase transitions in thermoelastic and thermoviscoelastic shells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the balance equations along the singular surface curve modelling the phase interface in the shell and derived the thermodynamic condition allowing one to determine the interface position on the deformed shell midsurface.

Effect of Surface Elasticity on the Interaction Between Steps
Gan-Yun Huang,Shou-Wen Yu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Fourier integral transform was used to obtain the surface Green's functions for a half plane under concentrated normal or shear loads, and the authors showed that the effect of surface elasticity on the interaction energy is significant when the distance between the two steps is in the range of several times the intrinsic length scale of the system.

Effect of Surface Energy on the Vibration Analysis of Rotating Nanobeam
TL;DR: In this paper, a Gurtin-Murdoch model is proposed to satisfy the surface balance equations of the continuum surface elasticity, and the numerical results show that the softer boundary conditions cause an increase in the influence of the angular velocity on the nanobeam vibration frequencies.

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.
