The Analysis of the Effect of Surface Stresses at Nanoscale

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on classical elasticity theory, the effects of surface stresses on the nanosized contact problem in an elastic half-plane which contains a nanocylindrical hole are analyzed. Meanwhile, the effects of surface energy of the contact nanosized surface are considered. The complex variable function method is applied to derive the fundamental solution of the contact problem. As example, the deformation induced by a distributed traction of cosine function on the nanosized surface is analyzed in detail. The results tell some interesting characteristics in contact mechanics, which are different from those in classical elasticity theory.
