Fiber- and Particle-Reinforced Composite Materials With the Gurtin–Murdoch and Steigmann–Ogden Surface Energy Endowed Interfaces

Modern advances in material science and surface chemistry lead to creation of composite materials with enhanced mechanical, thermal, and other properties. It is now widely accepted that the enhancements are achieved due to drastic reduction in sizes of some phases of composite structures. This leads to increase in surface to volume ratios, which makes surface- or interface-related effects to be more significant. For better understanding of these...
