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: 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 ...
