Interatomic potentials approximate the potential energy of atoms as a function of their
coordinates. Their main application is the effective simulation of many-atom systems. Here …

A generalized micropolar bond-based Peridynamic model with shear deformability for linear
and non-linear problems is proposed. The analytical implicit formulation is derived from the …

The description of the mechanical behaviour of brick/block masonry through equivalent
continua is presented here as a paradigmatic example of the problem of gross modelling of …

This paper presents a unified framework for continuum-molecular modeling of anisotropic
elasticity, fracture and diffusion-based problems within a generalized two-dimensional …

In many proteins, especially allosteric proteins that communicate regulatory states from
allosteric to active sites, structural deformations are functionally important. To understand …

The mechanical behaviour of complex materials, characterised at finer scales by the
presence of heterogeneities of significant size and texture, strongly depends on their …

In the last decades the modeling of masonry structures has become an argument particularly
appealing for many researchers and a large variety of numerical techniques have been …

We present a two–steps multiscale procedure suitable to describe the constitutive behavior
of hierarchically structured particle composites. The complex material is investigated …

A description of brick/block masonry by continua equivalent to discrete systems made of
blocks of different geometry and texture is proposed in this paper. Here, the reasons for the …

An anisotropic continuum-molecular model based on pair potentials for describing the linear
static and dynamic behavior of periodic heterogeneous Cauchy materials is derived in the …
