Toward steering the motion of surface rolling molecular machines by straining graphene substrate

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The surface rolling molecular machines are proposed to perform tasks and carrying molecular payloads on the substrates. As a result, controlling the surface motion of these molecular machines is of interest for the design of nano-transportation systems ...

A Turbulent Constitutive Law for the Two-Dimensional Inverse Energy Cascade

open access: yes, 2005
We develop a fundamental approach to a turbulent constitutive law for the 2D inverse cascade, based upon a convergent multi-scale gradient (MSG) expansion.

Strain gradient and generalized continua obtained by homogenizing frame lattices

open access: yesMathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems, 2018
We determine the effective behavior of periodic structures made of welded elastic bars. Taking into account the fact that flexural and torsional stiffnesses are much smaller than the extensional one we overpass classical homogenization formula and obtain

Solutal gradients in strained equilibrium

open access: yesPhilosophical Magazine Letters, 2013
AbstractWe demonstrate that the distortion of a crystal, caused by secondary phase precipitates, can stabilize a solutal gradient around the precipitate. The gradient persists in the quasi-static state stabilized by the gradient of the elastic energy around the precipitate.

On the consistency of the nonlocal strain gradient elasticity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering Science, 2019
The nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory is being widely used to address structural problems at the micro- and nano-scale, in which size effects cannot be disregarded. The application of this approach to bounded solids shows the necessity to fulfil boundary conditions, derived from an energy variational principle, to achieve equilibrium, as well ...

A gradient theory based on the Aifantis theory using the Gurtin-Anand strain gradient plasticity approach

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2018
This article investigates the differences between the Aifantis and Gurtin-Anand strain gradient plasticity. The fact that Gurtin-Anand strain gradient plasticity is richer than the Aifantis strain gradient plasticity provides a basis for which we could ...

Strain Gradient Plasticity: Theory and Implementation

open access: yes, 2020
This chapter focuses on the foundation and development of various higher-order strain gradient plasticity theories, and it also provides the basic elements for their finite element implementation. To this aim, we first refer to experiments exhibiting size-effects in metals and explain them by resorting to the concept of geometrically necessary ...

An assessment of higher gradient theories from a continuum mechanics perspective [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
In this paper, we investigate the inherent physical and mathematical character of higher gradient theories, in which the strain or distortion gradients are considered as the fundamental measures of deformation. Contrary to common belief, the first or higher strain or distortion gradients are not proper measures of deformation.

Formulation of continuous/discontinuous Galerkin methods for strain gradient-dependent damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Continuum damage models are widely used to represent the development of microscopic defects that coalesce into a macroscopic crack. The microscopic defects cause a progressive weakening or softening of the material (damage).
