Micromorphic (microstructure) elastic constants are considered within the context of experimental results for foams and rib lattices and of subsets such as Cosserat elasticity, void elasticity and

Size-effects of metamaterial beams subjected to pure bending: on boundary conditions and parameter identification in the relaxed micromorphic model

We devote this paper to model the size-effects of metamaterial beams under bending with the aid of the relaxed micromorphic continuum. We analyze first the size-dependent bending stiffness of

Lagrange and $H(\operatorname{curl},{\cal B})$ based Finite Element formulations for the relaxed micromorphic model

The characteristic length effect on the different components of the model is analyzed and it is revealed how the size-effect property is captured via this characteristic length.

A benchmark strain gradient elasticity solution in two-dimensions for verifying computational approaches by means of the finite element method

In elasticity, microstructure-related deviations may be modeled by strain gradient elasticity. For so-called metamaterials, different implementations are possible for solving strain gradient

Mechanics of size-dependent materials

The main driving force in modern technology is to make systems of smaller dimensions and novel materials. This poses enormous technological challenges to manufacturing procedures, both at structural

The characteristic length effect on the different components of the model is analyzed and how the size-effect property is captured via this characteristic length parameter is revealed.

The consistent coupling boundary condition for the classical micromorphic model: existence, uniqueness and interpretation of parameters

We consider the classical Mindlin–Eringen linear micromorphic model with a new strictly weaker set of displacement boundary conditions. The new consistent coupling condition aims at minimizing

The theory of micromorphic continua, developed by Eringen and his co-workers, is recapitulated and extended. Master equations are obtained in the form of integral operators from which all order

Mechanics of extended continua: modeling and simulation of elastic microstretch materials

The investigation of microstretch and micromorphic continua (which are prominent examples of so-called extended continua) dates back to Eringens pioneering works in the mid 1960, cf. (Eringen in

A unifying perspective: the relaxed linear micromorphic continuum

We formulate a relaxed linear elastic micromorphic continuum model with symmetric Cauchy force stresses and curvature contribution depending only on the micro-dislocation tensor. Our relaxed model is
