Periodic lattice models of beams are homogenised to obtain equivalent continuum models.
Various modelling aspects for the discrete model are discussed, such as the selection of a …

We consider the reduced constrained linear Cosserat continuum, a particular type of a
Cosserat medium, for three different material behaviors or symmetries: the isotropic elastic …

This article is devoted to the study of auxetic properties of Cosserat hexagonal lattices
composed of finite‐sized particles with complex connections. The description of complex …

In this contribution we study elastic wave propagation via the introduction of the micropolar
theory. As a generalization of a classical linear elastic medium, a micropolar medium allows …

Seismic events produced by block rotations about vertical axis occur in many geodynamic
contexts. In this study, we show that these rotations can be accounted for using the proper …

We provide a method to compute the Cosserat couple modulus for a bridgmanite (MgSiO 3
silicate perovskite) solid from frequency gaps observed in Raman experiments. To this aim …

We consider a linear complex elastic material whose body point motion is described by two
vectorial generalised co-ordinates of any dimension. We suppose that the medium obeys …

The dependency of rotations on translations in the classical elastic theory and the
mismatched experimental rotations to the theoretical one leads to the exploration of the …

Аннотация Изучается вопрос о том, как две известные модели обобщенных
континуумов описывают поверхностную волну Рэлея, распространяющуюся вдоль …

In this work, we study sound propagation in different granular media made of magnetite
particles, steel particles, and glass beads consolidated under their own weight. We used two …
