Modelling and simulation techniques are now considered an essential practice for the
materials industry. In order to gain insight into factors that can affect the final properties of a …

This review article summarizes the advances in the surface stress effect in mechanics of
nanostructured elements, including nanoparticles, nanowires, nanobeams, and nanofilms …

Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

Eshelby's theory of inclusions has wide-reaching implications across the mechanics of
materials and structures including the theories of composites, fracture, and plasticity …

Materials that are either manufactured or occur in nature and used both in industry and in
our daily lives (metals, rocks, wood, soil, suspensions, and biological tissue) are very …

This paper is concerned with the probabilistic multiscale analysis of polymeric materials
reinforced by nanoscopic fillers. More precisely, this work is devoted to the stochastic …

Macro-scale fractures of asphalt mixture usually exhibit multiple failure mechanisms
including aggregate cracking, interfacial debonding between bitumen and aggregate, and …

This work aims at estimating the size-dependent effective elastic moduli of particulate
composites in which both the interfacial displacement and traction discontinuities occur. To …

Some composites and nanomaterials can be appropriately considered as multiphase
materials in which the interfaces are imperfect and described by the interface stress model …

In this paper, we investigate the interfacial stress effects on the macroscopic yield function of
ductile porous media containing nanosized spheroidal cavities. The solid matrix is assumed …
