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 …

Metamaterials are materials especially engineered to have a peculiar physical behaviour, to
be exploited for some well-specified technological application. In this context we focus on …

Gabrio Piola's scientific papers have been underestimated in mathematical physics
literature. Indeed, a careful reading of them proves that they are original, deep and far …

We formulate a relaxed linear elastic micromorphic continuum model with symmetric Cauchy
force stresses and curvature contribution depending only on the micro-dislocation tensor …

In this paper, the relaxed micromorphic model proposed in Ghiba et al.(Math Mech Solids,
2013), Neff et al.(Contin Mech Thermodyn, 2013) has been used to study wave propagation …

This paper is concerned with the derivation and properties of differential complexes arising
from a variety of problems in differential equations, with applications in continuum …

We discuss the material symmetry group of the micropolar continuum and related
consistently simplified constitutive equations. Following Eremeyev and Pietraszkiewicz (Int J …

Abstract Let Ω⊂ R 3 be an open and bounded set with Lipschitz boundary and outward unit
normal ν. For 1< p<∞ we establish an improved version of the generalized L p-Korn …

A second gradient theory for woven fabrics is applied to Kirchhoff–Love shell elements to
analyze the mechanics of fiber reinforced composite materials. In particular, we assume a …

Classical elasticity mechanics fails to explain size-dependent phenomenon, the strain
gradient elasticity theories including the couple stress theory, the simplified strain gradient …
