Résumé

We consider continuous media in which contact edge forces are present. Introducing the notion of quasi-balanced contact force distribution, we are able to prove the conjectures made in [] concerning the representation of contact edge forces. We first generalise the Noll theorem on Cauchy postulate. Then we adapt the celebrated Cauchy tetrahedron construction to find a representation theorem for stress states. Moreover we find the relationship between double forces Germain [], interstitial working [] and contact edge forces.
