Abstract
In coated nanowires, the surface/interface effects are particularly prominent due to a larger ratio of surface area to volume. In this paper, the effect of surface/interface stress on the macroscopic dynamic stress concentration around two nanowires under anti-plane shear waves is studied. The analytical solutions of displacements around the coated nanowires, in the coating layers, and inside the nanowires are expressed by wave function expansion method. The expanded mode coefficients are determined by satisfying the boundary conditions at the two interfaces around the nanowires. To accomplish the superposition of displacement fields, the addition theorem for cylindrical wave function is employed. Analyses show that the effect of interface properties on the dynamic stress is significantly related to the wave frequency, the material properties of nanowires and coating layers, and the relative position and distance between the two nanowires. If the wires and coating layers are softer, the dynamic stress decreases greatly, and the interface effect on the dynamic stress is also little. The results may be potentially useful for providing information on the mechanical properties and interactions among array of nanowires under different external mechanical stimulus.
