Initial Stresses and Skin Effects in a Hemitropic Cosserat Continuum
In this paper, constitutive relations are derived for a linear Cosserat continuum possessing hemitropic symmetry. In such a continuum, the microstructure has a screwlike property, or handedness, and can support initial couple stresses of twist.

Material symmetry group and constitutive equations of micropolar anisotropic elastic solids
We discuss the material symmetry group of the micropolar continuum and related consistently simplified constitutive equations. Following Eremeyev and Pietraszkiewicz (Int J Solid Struct 2012; 49: 1993-2005; Generalized continua as models for materials ...

Multiscale modelling and an experimental investigation on size-scale effects in concrete [PDF]
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 82-90).Classical continuum mechanics assumes that constitutive parameters are associated with a so-called Representative Volume Element (RVE) and are a statistical average.

Reflection of micropolar elastic waves at the non-free surface of a micropolar elastic half-space
The reflection problem of the micropolar elastic waves at the non-free surface of a micropolar elastic half-space is studied in this paper. Different from the classic elastic solid, there are four kinds of elastic waves in the micropolar elastic solid ...

Composites with different material symmetries. Discrete-micropolar continuum description
Particle composites include materials like ceramic, metal composites, poly-crystals, and masonry. Due to the presence of different heterogeneities (rigid or soft inclusions, voids, microcracks, etc.) whose size may have an important impact on their ...

A multiscale approach for the micropolar continuum model
A method to derive governing equations and elastic-plastic constitutive relations for the micropolar continuum model is proposed. Averaging procedures are operated over a surrounding sub-domain for each material point to bridge a discrete microstructure ...

Hemitropic properties of thin non-centrosymmetric 3D woven textile composites
Due to their microstructural architecture, 3D woven textile composites, (3DWTC), exhibit complex macroscopic behavior, which cannot be effectively captured using classical continuum theories.

Strain rate tensors and constitutive equations of inelastic micropolar materials
Nonlinear micropolar continuum model allows to describe complex micro-structured media, for example, polycrystals, foams, cellular solids, lattices, masonries, particle assemblies, magnetic rheological fluids, liquid crystals, etc., for which the ...
