A Family of Nonconforming Rectangular Elements for Strain Gradient Elasticity

open access: yesAdvances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 2021
We propose a family of nonconforming rectangular elements for the linear strain gradient elastic model. Optimal error estimates uniformly with respect to the small material parameter have been proved. Numerical results confirm the theoretical prediction.

Nonlinear flexure mechanics of beams: stress gradient and nonlocal integral theory

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2021
In order to study the intrinsic size-effects, the stress gradient theory is implemented to a nano-scale beam model in nonlinear flexure. The nonlocal integral elasticity model is considered as a suitable counterpart to examine the softening behavior of ...

Tailoring Exciton Dynamics by Elastic Strain‐Gradient in Semiconductors [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, 2014
In purely bent ZnO microwires, the excitons can be effectively driven and concentrated by the elastic strain-gradient towards the tensile outer side of the purely bent wire. Experimental and theoretical approaches are combined to investigate the dynamics of excitons in an inhomogeneous strain field with a uniform elastic strain-gradient ...

Modeling Gum Metal and other newly developed titanium alloys within a new class of constitutive relations for elastic bodies

open access: yesArchives of Mechanics, 2017
Many titanium alloys and even materials such as concrete exhibit a nonlinear relationship between strain and stress, when the strain is small enough that the square of the norm of the displacement gradient can be ignored in comparison to the norm of the ...

Four simplified gradient elasticity models for the simulation of dispersive wave propagation

open access: yes, 2008
Gradient elasticity theories can be used to simulate dispersive wave propagation as it occurs in heterogeneous materials. Compared to the second-order partial differential equations of classical elasticity, in its most general format gradient elasticity ...

New applications of a generalized Hooke’s law for second gradient materials

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2015
We provide analytical solutions to the problems of a circular bending of a beam in plane strain and the torsion of a non-circular cross-section beam, the beams obeying a second-gradient elasticity law proposed by the author, following a previous ...

Variational Formulations and Isogeometric Analysis of Timoshenko–Ehrenfest Microbeam Using a Reformulated Strain Gradient Elasticity Theory

open access: yesCrystals, 2022
This paper presents a novel non-classical Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam model based on a reformulated strain gradient elasticity theory. The strain gradient effect, couple stress effect, and velocity gradient effect for vibration are included in the new ...

A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model

open access: yes, 2004
The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models that involve gradients of the strain field means that the $C^0$ continuity
