Abstract: Cohesive elasticity is the grade-3 theory of elasticity developed by Mindlin in 1965. It has a modulus of cohesion that gives rise to surface-tension. The concept of adhesion is introduced, and interfacial energies and energy of adhesion are defined. The interfacial energy solution may also be used to define a grain boundary energy. Also presented are the thin film energy and the concept of an interface-phase. The stretching of a thin film is analyzed in detail; and it is found that the apparent Young’s modulus obtained from a film is higher than that obtained from a plate.
