Abstract
In the present paper, surface Green functions in an anisotropic elastic half-domain subjected to a concentrated force and a line force are derived using Stroh’s formalism considering surface stress and surface elasticity. Formulation of the boundary condition based on Stroh’s formalism is presented and is used to derive the surface Green functions. The displacement field far from the surface is affected only slightly by the surface stress and elasticity. However, the stress field is influenced to a somewhat greater degree by the surface stress and elasticity. The influence of the mechanical properties of the surface on the distributions of displacement and stress near the surface is investigated for various values of surface elastic modulus and surface stress. The surface stress and surface elasticity affect the displacements and stresses, respectively, in different manners. Displacement fields in molecular dynamics are compared with those in the Green function, and it is shown that the results are in fair agreement.
