Abstract: A thermodynamic theory for deformable three phase contact regions is developed. The mechanical and thermodynamic line stress variables are defined. Their relation with the line tension is shown (Shuttleworth equation for lines). The effect of the excess of the deformation is included. The general condition of mechanical equilibrium is established; it reduces to Neumann's relation and Young's equation in the limit of fluid systems and in the usual wetting configuration respectively.
