As there are different computational methods for simulating problems in generalized mechanics, we present simple applications and their closed-form solutions verifying a numerical implementation. For such benchmark, utilize these analytical examine three-dimensional simulations by the finite element method (FEM) using IsoGeometric Analysis (IGA) with aid of open source codes, called tIGAr, deve...

In the perspective of homogenization theory, strain-gradient elasticity is a strategy to describe overall behavior materials with coarse mesostructure. this approach, effect mesostructure described by use three tensors whose orders vary from 4 6. Higher-order constitutive make it possible rich physical phenomena. However, these objects have intricate algebraic structures that prevent us having ...

Acknowledging that what is currently defined as ‘pressure’ should not have reason to exist without the existence of a gravity field, the connection between thermodynamics and gravity can be easily made clear. Comprehensive thermo-gravitational equilibrium conditions may be defined without raising any doubt about the validity of the conventional thermodynamic and gravitational equilibrium condit...

The principles of origami design have proven useful in a number technological applications. Origami tessellations particular constitute class morphing metamaterials with unusual geometric and elastic properties. Although inextensible principle, fine creases allow to effectively deform non-isometrically. Determining the strains that are compatible coarse-grained kinematics as well corresponding ...
