Specific surface energy in Mechanical Behaviour and Testing Formulas

Specific surface energy is the surface energy needed for creation of new surface during crack propagation in a brittle material. And is denoted by γ_s. Specific surface energy is usually measured using the Newton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Specific surface energy is always positive.
