We determine the effective behavior of periodic structures made of welded elastic bars.
Taking into account the fact that flexural and torsional stiffnesses are much smaller than the …

A stress-gradient material model was recently proposed by Forest and Sab (Mech. Res.
Comm. 40, 16–25, 2012) as an alternative to the well-known strain-gradient model …

In the present paper, the influence of periodic gaps between lamellas of Cross Laminated
Timber (CLT) on the panel's elastic behavior is analyzed by means of a periodic …

In this paper, the linear buckling of a heterogeneous thick plate is studied using the Bending–
Gradient theory which is an extension of the Reissner–Mindlin plate theory to the case of …

Determining the membrane, bending, and shear stiffness of cross-laminated timber (CLT)
and innovative panels requires advanced finite element computations and homogenization …

This paper presents the theoretical development of a new model of shells called SAM‐H
(Stress Approach Model of Homogeneous shells) and adapted for linear elastic shells, from …

The scattering of flexural waves in piezoelectric thin plates with defects effects the electro-
mechanical coupling property. Theoretical analysis for flexural waves is lack of a suitable …

This article is intended to derive the first-order structural functions method solution to a three-
dimensional problem of bending a heterogeneous, linear elastic plate with material …

The derivation of some class of generalized mechanical models relies on a specific stress
expansion without any a priori assumption on the corresponding kinematics. In such …

This paper is devoted to the mathematical justification of the Bending-Gradient theory which
is considered as the extension of the Reissner-Mindlin theory (or the First Order Shear …
