In recent years, composite materials have gained popularity in numerous high-tech and engineering applications, owing to their outstanding physico-mechanical properties. They …
The development of antimicrobial packaging has been growing rapidly due to an increase in awareness and demands for sustainable active packaging that could preserve the quality …
A first gradient nonlocal model of bending for Timoshenko functionally graded nanobeams based on the Eringen model is proposed. The material properties vary in the thickness …
In this paper, the mechanical behavior of bio-inspired nacre-like staggered composites is studied. The bio-inspired materials, combining stiff and soft constituents, exhibit superior …
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 …
Nonlocal formulations are currently adopted to assess size effects in nanostructures. The Eringen differential constitutive model, due to its simplicity, is widely used to investigate the …
The fracture processes of the constant/variable stiffness composite laminate (CSCL/VSCL) subjected to uni-axial tension is investigated using the phase-field method. The main …
In this work, we study the macroscopic and microscopic instabilities in 2D incompressible nacre-like composite materials induced by uniaxial loadings. The interchange between …
An enhanced model of nonlocal torsion based on the Eringen theory is provided in this paper. The variational formulation is given and then the governing differential equation and …
