Micromechanics based second gradient continuum theory for shear band modeling in cohesive granular materials following damage elasticity

TLDR
In this paper, a second gradient stress-strain damage elasticity theory based on the method of virtual power is proposed. But the authors consider the strain gradient and its conjugated double stresses instead of introducing an intrinsic material length scale into the constitutive law in an ad hoc fashion.

Discrete element modeling of first shear strain gradient effects on mechanical behaviors in granular materials

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the first shear strain gradient on the mechanical behavior of granular materials have attracted attention from many researchers, and the results indicate that the macro shear stress is insensitive to the first strain gradient at low strains, but is indeed affected at high strains.

Solution of a paradox related to the rigid bar pull-out problem in standard elasticity

TL;DR: In this article , the pull-out test of a reinforcement bar from a concrete matrix is modeled as a Cauchy continuum, where the pullout test consists in extracting the bar while fixing the outer lateral boundary of the cylinder.

Efficient and robust numerical treatment of a gradient-enhanced damage model at large deformations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an extension of the efficient numerical treatment, which has been proposed in [1], to materials that are subjected to large deformations, along with the model derivation, they present a technique for element erosion in the case of severely damaged materials.

Elastic degradation models for the micromorphic continuum

TL;DR: The micromorphic theory poses as the most general theory in this class of generalized theories through the consideration of nine additional degrees of freedom embedded in each material particle, which is directly correlated to the nonlocal feature of generalized media, wherein the material microstructural behavior is incorporated into the continuum formulation as mentioned in this paper .

Second Gradient Models and Concrete Structures

TL;DR: In this article, a penalty term is added to the original second-order derivatives of the virtual power principle in order to improve convergence and to avoid erroneous damage distribution, and a three-point bending test is performed on a reinforced concrete beam.

A new Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) approach in computational mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, a local symmetric weak form (LSWF) for linear potential problems is developed, and a truly meshless method, based on the LSWF and the moving least squares approximation, is presented for solving potential problems with high accuracy.
