The aim of this paper is to propose a 3D model to study masonry walls subject to in plane
and out of plane actions through a rigorous homogenization procedure. 2D rigorous models …

Several nanomechanics formulations based on common two and three-body bonding
potentials are compared. Numerical simulations and analytical approaches are used to …

A Love–Kirchhoff plate model for in plane and out of plane actions of linear elastic periodic
brickwork has been already proposed by Cecchi and Sab [Eur. J. Mech. A.-Solids, 21 …

The current research proposes an experimental methodology to evaluate masonry pure
shear components, with a particular focus on the validation of the Cosserat or micropolar …

A numerical strategy based on a multilevel approach is presented for the nonlinear analysis
of brick masonry walls as in-plane prototypes of large masonry structures. The strategy is …

The force constants related to the bond stretching and angular variation of boron nitride,
silicon carbide, aluminium nitride and gallium nitride nanosheets are directly evaluated from …

The aim of this paper is to present an effort towards a multiscale model of the inelastic
behaviour of masonry brick panels and the relative solution algorithm. The essential features …

This work investigates the possibility of using equivalent continua within a multilevel strategy
for the analysis of brick masonry walls, as prototypes for the in-plane behavior of masonry …

The aim of this work is the study of masonry behavior by means of a homogenized model in
several perturbative parameters. The difficulty in the mechanical modeling of masonry …

The paper presents a study of defect-free achiral single-wall CNTs starting from a simple
and effective molecular mechanics model (stick-and-spring), accounting for binary and …
