Abstract
The surface‐energy tensors are evaluated for ellipsoidal surfaces in terms of particular types of elliptic integrals which have simple algebraic recursion relations that are useful for numerical evaluation. The final expressions are given in a form appropriate for an investigation of stability using the method of the tensor virial.Keywords
