Effect of Surface Stress on Strength of a Plate with Elliptical and Triangular Nanoscale Holes

The model of surface nanorelief within continuum mechanics

“…Basically, the continuum surface stress model assumes that a nanostructure is made of the bulk and some surfaces with the surface module of the nanostructure being different from those of the bulk. Within the simplified Gurtin and Murdoch model of the surface/interface elasticity, a number of classical problems related to elastic phenomena on the nanoscale were studied analytically, and some size effects were found for relevant nanoscale materials (e.g., [12][13][14][15][16][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]).…”
