Recent investigations into surface-energy density of nanomaterials lead to a ripe chance to propose, within the framework of continuum mechanics, a new theory for nanomaterials based on surface-energy density. In contrast to the previous theories, the linearly elastic constitutive relationship that is usually adopted to describe the surface layer of nanomaterials is not invoked and the surface elastic constants are no longer needed in the new theory. Instead, a surface-induced traction to characterize the surface effect in nanomaterials is derived, which depends only on the Eulerian surface-energy density. By considering sample-size effects, residual surface strain, and external loading, an explicit expression for the Lagrangian surface-energy density is achieved and the relationship between the Eulerian surface-energy density and the Lagrangian surface-energy density yields a conclusion that only two material constants—the bulk surface-energy density and the surface-relaxation parameter—are needed in the new elastic theory. The new theory is further used to characterize the elastic properties of several fcc metallic nanofilms under biaxial tension, and the theoretical results agree very well with existing numerical results. Due to the nonlinear surface effect, nanomaterials may exhibit a nonlinearly elastic property though the inside of nanomaterials or the corresponding bulk one is linearly elastic. Moreover, it is found that externally applied loading should be responsible for the softening of the elastic modulus of a nanofilm. In contrast to the surface elastic constants required by existing theories, the bulk surface-energy density and the surface-relaxation parameter are much easy to obtain, which makes the new theory more convenient for practical applications.
