Surface Elastic Constants of a Soft Solid
Qin Xu, Robert W. Style, Eric R. Dufresne
Solid interfaces have intrinsic elasticity. However, in most experiments, this is obscured by bulk stresses. Through microscopic observations of the contact-line geometry of a part…
Strain-dependent solid surface stress and the stiffness of soft contacts
Katharine E. Jensen, Robert W. Style, Qin Xu +1
Surface stresses have recently emerged as a key player in the mechanics of highly compliant solids. The classic theories of contact mechanics describe adhesion with a compliant sub…
Direct Measurement of Strain-dependent Solid Surface Stress
Qin Xu, Katharine E. Jensen, Rostislav Boltyanskiy +3
Surface stress, also known as surface tension, is a fundamental material property of any interface. However, measurements of solid surface stress in traditional engineering materia…
