The paper describes the mechanical behavior of composites made of piezoelectric spheres
in perfect or imperfect contact. The imperfect contact is achieved by interposing piezoelectric …

The manuscript offers a methodology to solve the local problem derived from the
homogenization technique, considering composite materials with generalized periodicity …

Stresses due to frictional sliding contact between a rigid cylinder and laminated glass fiber
composites are calculated in this study. A novel analytical formulation based on Cholesky …

This paper deals with the plane frictional contact problem for the microperiodic composite
half-plane with slant layering. Problem was considered as a contact of a non-deformable …

Owing to innovative developments and the need to satisfy the requirements of engineering
applications, new and improved materials are investigated by engineers to compensate for …

In the manuscript, piezoelectric composites with non-uniform imperfect contact at the
interface are studied. For this, the two-scales asymptotic homogenization method is used to …

A micromechanical model for the analysis of structurally periodic flexoelectric plates with
periodically varying thickness is developed on the basis of asymptotic homogenization. The …

In this manuscript, the equilibrium problem for a flexoelectric one-dimensional composite
material is studied. The two-scales asymptotic homogenization method is used to derive the …

The present work deals with hierarchical composites in three dimensions, whose
constituents behave as non-aging linear viscoelastic materials. We model the influence that …

A state-space method is developed to investigate the time-dependent behaviors of an angle-
ply cylindrical shell in cylindrical bending with surface-bonded piezoelectric layers. Both the …
