The stress gradient, strain gradient, and classical elasticity theory are integrated within a
consistent variational framework to conceive the mixture unified gradient theory of elasticity …

The higher-order unified gradient elasticity theory is conceived in a mixed variational
framework based on suitable functional space of kinetic test fields. The intrinsic form of the …

Micro/nano-scale energy harvester is an enabling technology to provide sustained energy
solutions for various micro/nano-electromechanical devices, this has attracted intensive …

We present a continuum theory for analyzing the interaction between the thermoelectric and
mechanical fields in piezoelectric semiconductors. The balance laws and dissipation …

We focus on the mechanical strength of piezomagnetic beam-like nanosize sensors during
post-buckling. An effective flexomagnetic property is also taken into account. The modelled …

Pantographic fabrics are presented as a paradigmatic example to discuss the research
perspective on multiphysics and multiscale materials. Reduced-order modeling, obtained by …

In this work, the nonlinear stability behaviors of the saturated porous nanobeams embedded
in an elastic foundation are investigated. The restrained nanobeam is modeled using …

Strain gradient theory is an accurate model for capturing the size effect and localization
phenomena. However, the challenge in identification of corresponding constitutive …

The popularity of the studies is getting further on the flexomagnetic (FM) response of nano-
electro-magneto machines. In spite of this, there are a few incompatibilities with the …

The effective piezoelectric properties of heterogeneous materials are evaluated in the
context of periodic homogenization, whereby a variational formulation is developed …
