Reflecting new developments in the study of Saint-Venant's problem, Classical and
Generalized Models of Elastic Rods focuses on the deformation of elastic cylinders for three …

In this paper we consider a two-degrees-of-freedom, non-linear model aiming to describe
internal friction phenomena which have been observed in some modified concrete …

Damage, be it a material or a geometric degradation, modifies some features of the
response foreseen by the original structural design. These variations, once the dependence …

This paper proposes a new approach for the evaluation of the conventional modes, ie rigid,
distortional, local and Bredt shear-modes, to be used in the framework of the Generalised …

The effect of micro-particle addition on internal dissipation of concrete was experimentally
investigated. The idea was to increase the internal friction and improve the related damping …

In the present paper, a constitutive model for the description of the dissipation in the
concrete is provided. The theoretical description is based on a micromorphic model in which …

Torsion and bending/torsion buckling may occur for compressed thin-walled open profiles
used in engineering and architecture applications. We report experimental results provided …

The semi-inverse analytical solution of a pure bending problem for a piezoelectric layer is
developed in the framework of linear electroelasticity theory with strain gradient and electric …

We find closed-form solutions for axisymmetric plane strain deformations of a functionally
graded circular cylinder comprised of an isotropic and incompressible second-order elastic …

We investigate the effects of warping on the dynamic stability of non-trivial equilibrium
configurations for non-symmetric open thin-walled beams. We use a direct one-dimensional …
