The concept of eigenstrain is adopted to derive a general analytical framework to solve the elastic field for 3D anisotropic solids with general defects by considering the surface stress. The formulation shows the elastic constants and geometrical features of the surface play an important role in determining the elastic fields of the solid. As an application, the analytical close-form solutions to the stress fields of an infinite isotropic circular nanowire are obtained. The stress fields are compared with the classical solutions and those of complex variable method. The stress fields from this work demonstrate the impact from the surface stress when the size of the nanowire shrinks but becomes negligible in macroscopic scale. Compared with the power series solutions of complex variable method, the analytical solutions in this work provide a better platform and they are more flexible in various applications. More importantly, the proposed analytical framework profoundly improves the studies of general 3D anisotropic materials with surface effects.
