SURFACE AND ENVIRONMENT-SENSITIVE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR.

Abstract

The influences of surface structure and environment on the mechanical behavior of crystalline inorganic solids are reviewed and possible mechanisms discussed. In particular, the various roles of such factors as the atomic, electronic, and defect structures of the near-surface regions, the presence of adsorbed surface-active species, alloyed layers, oxide films, gaseous or liquid environments, etc. are considered in connection with the Roscoe, Rebinder, and Joffe effects, liquid-metal embrittlement, complex-ion embrittlement, hydrogen embrittlement, and other phenomena.
