Preferred Label : surface stress;
Detailed label : surface stress, Tij;
IUPAC definition : The work required to form unit area of new surface by stretching under equilibrium
conditions. It is numerically equal to the force acting in the i j /i th direction
per unit length of exposed edge, the edge being normal to the i i /i th direction,
that must be applied to a terminating surface to keep it in equilibrium, the i i
/i th and i j /i th directions lying in the plane of the surface.;
