Most of the materials produced and utilized in industry are heterogeneous on one or another
spatial scale. Typical examples include metal alloy systems, porous media, polycrystalline …

Many arenas of research are rapidly advancing due to a combined effort between
engineering and science. In some cases, fields of research that were stagnating under the …

A unifying thermomechanical constitutive framework for generalized continua including
additional degrees of freedom or/and the second gradient of displacement is presented …

A hierarchy of higher order continua is presented that introduces additional degrees of
freedom accounting for volume changes, rotation and straining of an underlying …

For the design of materials, it is important to faithfully model macroscopic materials response
together with mechanisms and interactions occurring at the microstructural scales. While …

Whilst currently existing modeling approaches of reinforced concrete (RC) behavior allow a
reasonably accurate prediction of flexural response, the determination of its shear …

The purpose of this work is to investigate solutions for an enhanced multifiber beam element
accounting for shear and torsion. Higher order interpolations functions are used to avoid any …
