Strain gradient theory is an accurate model for capturing the size effect and localization
phenomena. However, the challenge in identification of corresponding constitutive …

Although already suggested in the middle of the 19th century, have material models that
include higher gradients of the kinematical variables become a blossoming field of research …

Even though heterogeneous porous materials are widely used in a variety of engineering
and scientific fields, such as aerospace, energy-storage technology, and bio-engineering …

Infill density used in additive manufacturing incorporates a structural response change in the
structure. Infill pattern creates a microstructure that affects the mechanical performance as …

The literature in the field of higher-order homogenization is mainly focused on 2-D models
aimed at composite materials, while it lacks a comprehensive model targeting 3-D lattice …

Microstructure related deviation from elastic response is known as “size-effect.”
Metamaterials–for example modeled by strain gradient elasticity–capture this effect …

A fundamental understanding of the interaction between microstructure and underlying
physical mechanisms is essential, especially for developing more accurate multi-physics …

In elasticity, microstructure-related deviations may be modeled by strain gradient elasticity.
For so-called metamaterials, different implementations are possible for solving strain …

As there are different computational methods for simulating problems in generalized
mechanics, we present simple applications and their closed‐form solutions for verifying a …

Metamaterials exhibit significantly different mechanical deformation than in classical “first-
order” theory. One possible modeling approach is to use a “straingradient” theory by …
