Optimization design assisted with advanced additive manufacturing techniques opens an
effective gate for us to create novel, lightweight, mechanically robust cellular materials …

A novel multiscale strategy is proposed for the damage analysis of masonry structures
modeled as periodic composites. Such a computational strategy, whose aim is to reduce the …

In the present work, a micropolar continuum model is adopted to homogenise a
heterogeneous porous model of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) meshes. GBR meshes …

The use of recycled concrete aggregates is very attractive from the point of view of reducing
concrete production costs and of sustainability. A peculiar origin of such aggregates is that of …

The macroscopic behavior of materials with anisotropic microstructure described as
micropolar continua is investigated in the present work. Micropolar continua are …

This study presents the formulation of the variable-order continuum mechanics theory and its
application to the analysis of nonlocal heterogeneous solids. The variable-order continuum …

In this research, a perspective of the dispersion relation of flexural waves on periodic
structures is proposed. The rotational theory of micro-elements is stem to explore the …

This study presents a physically-consistent displacement-driven reformulation of the concept
of action-at-a-distance, which is at the foundation of nonlocal elasticity. In contrast to the …

Increasing application of composite structures in engineering field inherently speed up the
studies focusing on the investigation of non-homogeneous bodies. Due to their capability on …

Develo** cellular materials, especially ordered lattice structures, would allow the
exploitation of structural advantages and enhance the mechanical performances. However …
