Abstract: Surface modifications are known as efficient technologies for advanced carbon fibers to achieve significant improvement of interface adhesion in composites, one of which is to increase the surface roughness in the fiber's ...

Abstract: Recent investigations into surfaceenergy density of nanomaterials lead to a ripe chance to propose, within the framework of continuum mechanics, a new theory for nanomaterials based on surfaceenergy density. In contrast ...

Abstract: The size effect of nanoporous materials is generally believed to be caused by the large ratio of surface area to volume, so that it is also called surface effect. Based on a recently developed elastic theory, in which the ...

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: 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 ...
