One of the research direction of Horst Lippmann during his whole scientific career was
devoted to the possibilities to explain complex material behavior by generalized continua …

This review article summarizes the advances in the surface stress effect in mechanics of
nanostructured elements, including nanoparticles, nanowires, nanobeams, and nanofilms …

In the last years, the rapid increase in the technical capability to control and design materials
at the nanoscale has pushed toward an intensive exploitation of new possibilities …

Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

An arbitrarily curved three-dimensional anisotropic thin interphase between two anisotropic
solids is considered. The purpose of this study is to model this interphase as a surface …

The effects of the interface bonding conditions simulated by four interface models on the
stress fields of spherical and circular inhomogeneities in infinite media are investigated for …

In Mechanics, material properties are most often regarded as being given, and based on
this, many technical solutions are usually conceived and constructed. However, nowadays …

Interfacial continuity and discontinuity relations are needed in dealing with a variety of
mechanical and physical phenomena in heterogeneous media. The present work consists of …

Linear spring interface model and interphase model are often used to simulate the interface
behaviour of particle-reinforced composite materials. However, the former may give rise to …

Interfaces that exist in composites greatly influence their mechanical and conductive
properties. There are usually three interface models to characterize the elastic and …
