In this study, the vibration behaviours of functionally graded microplates with cracks are investigated by means of a simple yet rigorous version of Mindlin's generialised continuum and the extended isogeometric analysis ...

The paper presents a model based on the modified strain gradient theory for the free vibration analysis of isotropic microbeams. The analysis includes the effects of rotatory inertia and shear deformation on natural ...

In this work, a thermodynamically consistent gradient formulation for partially saturated cohesive-frictional porous media is proposed. The constitutive model includes a classical or local hardening law and a softening ...

A multi-scale model, based on the concept of Representative Volume Element (RVE), is proposed linking a classical continuum at RVE level to a macro-scale strain-gradient theory. The multi-scale model accounts for the effect ...

In this paper a new finite element formulation for numerical analysis of diffused and localized failure behavior of saturated and partially saturated gradient poroplastic materials is proposed. The new finite element ...

This work presents a new formulation of the geometrically exact thin walled composite beam theory. The formulation assumes that the beam can undergo arbitrary kinematical changes while the strains remain small, thus ...

This work presents the derivation of a small strain tensor compatible with the geometrically exact kinematics of the thin walled composite beam theory. The formulation is based on the expression of the Green strain tensor ...
