In this review paper, some relevant models, algorithms, and approaches conceived to
describe the bone tissue mechanics and the remodeling process are showcased …

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 …

The aim of this paper is to find a computationally efficient and predictive model for the class
of systems that we call 'pantographic structures'. The interest in these materials was …

Hencky (Über die angenäherte Lösung von Stabilitätsproblemen im Raum mittels der
elastischen Gelenkkette. Ph. D. thesis, Engelmann, 1921) proposed a discrete model for …

We present a generalized shear deformation theory in combination with isogeometric (IGA)
approach for nonlinear transient analysis of smart piezoelectric functionally graded material …

A curved beam element based on the Timoshenko model and non-uniform rational B-
splines (NURBS) interpolation both for geometry and displacements is presented. Such an …

In this paper, we exploit some results in the theory of irreversible phenomena to address the
study of quasi-static brittle fracture propagation in a two-dimensional isotropic continuum …

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 …

In this paper, we formulate a linear elastic second gradient isotropic two-dimensional
continuum model accounting for irreversible damage. The failure is defined as the condition …

Metamaterials exhibit materials response deviation from conventional elasticity. This
phenomenon is captured by the generalized elasticity as a result of extending the theory at …
