Abstract:Starting from the seminal works of Toupin, Mindlin and Germain, a wide class of generalized elastic models have been proposed via the principle of virtual work, by postulating expressions of the elastic energy enriched by additional kinematic descriptors or by higher gradients of the placement. More recently, such models have been adopted to describe phenomena which are not consistent with the Cauchy-Born continuum, namely the size dependence of apparent elastic moduli observed for micro and nano-objects, wave… Show more
