This is a pretty bad page. As mentioned by others above, much has been taken directly from a paper, then parts removed as copyright violations. It also has several major issues. The comment from 9 years ago by @ RATLAM was not wrong, it was all due to confusion about the definition (continuum or atomistic). I have rewritten the first parts, and will slowly try and finish the rest. Ldm1954 ( talk) 13:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Done for now. The page needs some images, but I cannot find anything useful in Creative Commons. There are probably some other areas such as adhesion, mechanics where it could be mentioned. At least this version has sources, and is not a blatant copyright violation. Ldm1954 ( talk) 03:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
