A linear elastic second gradient orthotropic two-dimensional solid that is invariant under 90^
∘ 90∘ rotation and for mirror transformation is considered. Such anisotropy is the most …

Scale effects and the influence of surface roughness were investigated on the contact
behavior of glass specimens of the grain-grain, grain-block and block-block configurations …

We present a newly developed approach for the calculation of interfacial stiffness and
contact area evolution between two rough bodies exhibiting self-affine surface structures …

The mechanical behavior of monolithic cementitious materials is known to be significantly
affected by their granular nature. This paper describes an approach to incorporate the …

We have derived a stress–strain relationship for viscoelastic materials undergoing damage
using a granular micromechanics approach. This approach assumes the material to possess …

Gabrio Piola works had an enormous impact on the development of applied mathematics
and continuum mechanics. An excellent scientific committee who took it upon themselves to …

This paper presents an analytical description of frictional contact hysteresis behavior
between two flat rough surfaces in partial and gross slip. Couplings between shear and …

Samples of differently sized so-called pantographic structures are subjected to large
deformation loading tests up to rupture, while their response to the deformation is recorded …

Material systems derived from particulate precursor exhibit significant micro-scale tension-
compression asymmetry under loading which leads to macro-scale material anisotropy …

Reservoir core measurements can help guide seismic monitoring of fluid-induced pressure
variations in tight fractured reservoirs, including those targeted for supercritical CO 2 …
