Abstract: A continuum theory of elasticity based on the concept of interface free energy density is proposed to account for the effect of incoherent interfaces in nano-phase reinforced composites. With the help of the lattice model, ...

Abstract: Bio-inspired functional surfaces attract many research interests due to the promising applications. In this paper, tunable adhesion of a bio-inspired micropillar arrayed surface actuated by a magnetic field is investigated ...

Abstract: The scattering of elastic waves in nanoporous materials is inevitably influenced by the surface effect of nanopores. In order to investigate such a dynamic problem with surface effect of nanomaterials, a new theory of ...

Abstract: Although the mechanical mechanisms of staggered biological composites are widely investigated, each existing model has its own application scope. In order to comprehensively characterize the mechanical properties of the ...

Abstract: The fretting contact behavior of nanostructured materials is significantly influenced by the surface effect. A model of fretting contact between a nano-sized rigid cylindrical indenter and an elastic half-plane is established ...
