What is Eshelby Tensors and Overall Properties of Nano-composites Considering Both Interface Stretching and Bending Effects about?

In this study, the fundamental framework of analytical micromechanics is generalized to consider nano-composites with both interface stretching and bending effects. The interior and exterior Eshelby tensors for a spherical nano-inclusion, with an interface defined by the Steigmann-Ogden model, subjected to an arbitrary uniform eigenstrain are derived for the first time. Correspondingly, the stress/strain concentration tensors for a spherical nano-inhomogeneity subjected to arbitrary uniform far-field stress/strain loadings are also derived. Using the obtained concentration tensors, the effective bulk and shear moduli are derived by employing the dilute approximation and the Mori-Tanaka method, respectively, which can be used for both nano-composites and nano-porous materials. An equivalent interface curvature parameter reflecting the influence of the interface bending resistance is found, which can significantly simplify the complex expressions of the effective properties. In addition to size-dependency, the closed form expressions show that the effective bulk modulus is invariant to interface bending resistance parameters, in contrast to the effective shear modulus. We also put fo
