For the recently introduced isotropic-relaxed micromorphic generalized continuum model,
we show that, under the assumption of positive-definite energy, planar harmonic waves …

This manuscript presents a multi-dimensional, high order homogenization model for elastic
composite materials subjected to dynamic loading conditions. The proposed model is …

This paper describes the mathematical models derived for wave propagation in solids with
internal structure. The focus of the overview is on one-dimensional models which enlarge …

The determination of the early age concrete properties and the monitoring of their evolution
is the key point for an optimized construction with assured high quality. To this direction, the …

We argue that mechanics and physics of solids rely on a fundamental exemplar: the
apparent properties of a system depend on the building blocks that comprise it. Building …

We propose a modular approach for generalized computational mechanics in
mesostructured continua, namely the archetype blending continuum (ABC) theory. The …

Mindlin's microelasticity theory is reduced to the one-dimensional setting to examine its
prediction of the response of microstructured materials on a pulse loading. The one …

This dissertation argues that the mechanics and physics of solids rely on a fundamental
exemplar: the apparent properties of a system depend on the building blocks that comprise …

It is demonstrated on the example of one-dimensional elastic pulse propagation that
predictions of the Mindlin micromorphic theory may be inefficient if the size of inhomogeneity …
