摘要:
The standard models of solid mechanics were developed to describe the behavior of stiff materials. Our recent experiments have shown that the Johnson–Kendall–Roberts theory of adhesion, Young–Dupre relation of wetting, and Eshelby theory of composites each fail when elastic moduli drop below a size-dependent scale. In all cases, surface tension drives new phenomena. In this Soft Matter paper, we reformulate Eshelby's theory of composites to account for surface tension.
