TLDR
In this article, a special class of micro-elastic materials called Micropolar Solids are presented for couple stress and distributed body couples, and the couple stress theory is shown to emanate as a spacial case of the present theory.Abstract:
: Equations of motion, constitutive equations and boundary conditions are presented for a special class of micro-elastic materials called Micropolar Solids. These solids respond to micro-rotational motions and spin inertia and can support couple stress and distributed body couples. The couple stress theory is shown to emanate as a spacial case of the present theory when the motion is constrained so that micro- and macro-rotations coincide. Several energy and uniqueness theorems are given.read more

Nonlocal integral formulations of plasticity and damage: Survey of progress
Zdenek P. Bazant,Milan Jirásek +1 more
TL;DR: The nonlocal continuum concept has emerged as an effective means for regularizing the boundary value problems with strain softening, capturing the size effects and avoiding spurious localization that gives rise to pathological mesh sensitivity in numerical computations as mentioned in this paper.

The Method of Virtual Power in Continuum Mechanics. Part 2: Microstructure
TL;DR: The advantages of a systematic application of the method of virtual power are exemplified by the study of continuous media with microstructure, and the equations of motion for the general micromorphic medium are established for the first time.

Equivalent-Continuum Modeling of Nano-Structured Materials
TL;DR: In this article, the vibrational potential energy of a nano-structured material with the strain energy of representative truss and continuum models has been used to determine the effective continuum geometry of a graphene sheet.

Strain gradient interpretation of size effects
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the phenomenon of strength dependence on size, for otherwise geometrically similar specimens, may be interpreted on the basis of gradient elasticity and gradient plasticity arguments.

On generalized Cosserat-type theories of plates and shells: a short review and bibliography
TL;DR: In this article, the Cosserat-type theories of plates and shells are discussed as a special application of this model, and the authors show that they can explain additional effects in solid and fluid mechanics in a more satisfying manner.
