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

The mechanical properties of asphalt mixture are always required for the evaluation of the
durability of pavements. In order to obtain these properties without conducting expensive …

Mindlin's second strain gradient continuum theory for isotropic linear elastic materials is
used to model two different kinds of size-dependent surface effects observed in the …

This paper aims to develop a micromechanical model to evaluate the compressive strength–
porosity relationship of the pervious concrete mesostructure from its compositions. By …

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction was applied to study the evolution of lattice strain and stresses
in both phases of pearlitic steel during a tensile test. The advantage of the methodology …

The purpose of this work is the accurate prediction of the effective elastic moduli of syntactic
foams, for arbitrary selection of the volume fraction and material for the matrix and the filler …

The issue of applicability of the Morphologically Representative Pattern (MRP) approach to
elastic-plastic composites is addressed. The extension to the regime of non-linear material …

Eshelby's problem of an ellipsoidal inclusion embedded in an infinite homogeneous
isotropic elastic material and prescribed with a uniform eigenstrain and a uniform …

The classical Gurson model for ductile porous media is extended to incorporate the
surface/interface stresses effect at the nano-scale. For capillary forces, the yield surface is …

Homogenization methods utilizing classical elasticity-based Eshelby tensors cannot capture
the particle size effect experimentally observed in particle–matrix composites at the micron …
