In the present paper, the simplest model of strain-gradient elasticity will be considered, that is the isotropy in a bidimensional space. Paralleling the definition of the classic elastic moduli, our aim is to introduce second-order…
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…
The development of a nonlinear structural theory (model) for isotropic linear-elastic finite continua is the main objective of the study. To derive the theory, we used Taylor's multivariable expansion and Bubnov-Galerkin's weak formulation.…
In this short note we develop a constitutive relation that is linear in both the Cauchy stress and the linearized strain, by linearizing implicit constitutive relations between the stress and the deformation gradient that have been put into…
Strain correlation functions in two-dimensional isotropic elastic bodies are shown both theoretically (using the general structure of isotropic tensor fields) and numerically (using a glass-forming model system) to depend on the coordinates…
Correlation functions of components of second-order tensor fields in isotropic systems can be reduced to an isotropic forth-order tensor field characterized by a few invariant correlation functions (ICFs). It is emphasized that components…
As a service for the solid mechanics community we gather in this paper constitutive properties of a collective list of isotropic elastic energies for compressible materials. Of interest to us are the invertibility and monotonicity of…
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…
Generalizing recent work on isotropic tensor fields in isotropic and achiral condensed matter systems from two to arbitrary dimensions we address both mathematical aspects assuming perfectly isotropic systems and applications focusing on…
This paper concerns anisotropic two-dimensional and planar elasticity models within the frameworks of classical linear elasticity and the bond-based peridynamic theory of solid mechanics. We begin by reviewing corresponding models from the…
Second-order structured deformations of continua provide an extension of the multiscale geometry of first-order structured deformations by taking into account the effects of submacroscopic bending and curving. We derive here an integral…
Physical experiments can characterize the elastic response of granular materials in terms of macroscopic state-variables, namely volume (packing) fraction and stress, while the microstructure is not accessible and thus neglected. Here, by…
The behaviour of elastic structures undergoing large deformations is the result of the competition between confining conditions, self-avoidance and elasticity. This combination of multiple phenomena creates a geometrical frustration that…
A nonlinear small-strain elastic theory is constructed from a systematic expansion in Biot strains, truncated at quadratic order. The primary motivation is the desire for a clean separation between stretching and bending energies for…
Consider the constitutive law for an isotropic elastic solid with the strain-energy function expanded up to the fourth order in the strain, and the stress up to the third order in the strain. The stress-strain relation can then be inverted…
This paper presents a theory for the behaviour of isotropic-hardening/softening elastoplastic materials that do not have a preferred reference configuration. In spite of important differences, many ingredients of classical plasticity are…
We discuss the decomposition of the tensorial relaxation function for isotropic and transversely isotropic Modified Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic models. We show how to formulate the constitutive equation by using a convenient decomposition of…
In this paper we venture a new look at the linear isotropic indeterminate couple stress model in the general framework of second gradient elasticity and we propose a new alternative formulation which obeys Cauchy-Boltzmann's axiom of the…
We study orthogonal decompositions of symmetric and ordinary tensors using methods from linear algebra. For the field of real numbers we show that the sets of decomposable tensors can be defined be equations of degree 2. This gives a new…
In this paper we consider and compare special classes of static theories of gradient elasticity, nonlocal elasticity, gradient micropolar elasticity and nonlocal micropolar elasticity with only one gradient coefficient. Equilibrium…
