A size-dependent Kirchhoff micro-plate model is developed based on the strain gradient
elasticity theory. The model contains three material length scale parameters, which may …

Mindlin, in his celebrated papers of Arch. Rat. Mech. Anal. 16, 51–78, 1964 and Int. J. Solids
Struct. 1, 417–438, 1965, proposed two enhanced strain gradient elastic theories to describe …

Several studies showed the ability of the cortex of long bones such as the radius and tibia to
guide mechanical waves. Such experimental evidence has given rise to the emergence of a …

This book opens a new avenue to an engendering field of applied physics, located at the
“crossing” of modern photonics, electromagnetics, acoustics and material science. It also …

During the last decade the possibility of investigating the details of wave phenomena with
numerical simulation has caused an evolution of the research methodology in ultrasonic …

Strain gradient elasticity and nonlocal elasticity are two enhanced elastic theories
intensively used over the last fifty years to explain static and dynamic phenomena that …

In this paper, Lamb wave propagation in a homogeneous and isotropic non-classical
micro/nano-plates is investigated. To consider the effect of material microstructure on the …

The present work studies the propagation and reflection of plane waves in a body having the
form of a half-space. It is assumed that the mechanical response of this body is governed by …

The existence of torsional and SH surface waves in a half-space of a homogeneous and
isotropic material is shown to be possible in the context of the complete Toupin–Mindlin …

Wave propagation in hexagonal lattices is characterised by a transition from isotropic to
anisotropic regime as the frequency increases. This feature cannot be observed when the …
