In linear elasticity, we decompose the elasticity tensor into two irreducible pieces with 15 and 6 independent components, respectively. The {\it vanishing} of the piece with 6 independent components corresponds to the Cauchy relations.…
Fourth-rank tensors of complete Voigt's symmetry, that embody the elastic properties of crystalline anisotropic substances, were constructed for all 2D crystal systems. Using them we obtained explicit expressions for inverse of Young's…

The theory of first strain gradient elasticity (SGE) is widely used to model size and non-local effects observed in materials and structures. For a material whose microstructure is centrosymmetric, SGE is characterized by a sixth-order…

It is fairly well known that rotation in three dimensions can be expressed as a quadratic in a skew symmetric matrix via the Euler-Rodrigues formula. A generalized Euler-Rodrigues polynomial of degree 2n in a skew symmetric generating…
We definitively solve the old problem of finding a minimal integrity basis of polynomial invariants of the fourth-order elasticity tensor C. Decomposing C into its SO(3)-irreducible components we reduce this problem to finding joint…
In the perspective of homogenization theory, strain-gradient elasticity is a strategy to describe the overall behaviour of materials with coarse mesostructure. In this approach, the effect of the mesostructure is described by the use of…
