• A limit analysis approach based on Cosserat continuum for the evaluation of the in-plane strength of discrete media: Application to masonry (2017, unknown): “…of continuum equivalent models for discrete media, Cosserat continuum allows to efficiently take into account high deformation gradients (Trovalusci and Masiani, 2005), relative particles’ rotation (Pau and Trovalusci, 2012) and scale effects (Salerno and de Felice, 2009; Godio et al., 2015).”
• Scale{dependent homogenization of random composites as micropolar continua (2015, background): “Micropolar continua approaches accounting for the effects of material internal lengths and, in particular, non–symmetries of the strain and stress tensors have turned out to be more effective than the local and second gradient continua approaches (Pau and Trovalusci, 2011; Trovalusci and Pau, 2014).”
• Particulate random composites homogenized as micropolar materials (2014, background): “Like in the extensively investigated case of anisotropic periodic materials [18, 24], further confirmations of the suitability of micropolar model are 5 10 15 20 25 0.”
• Dynamic finite element formulation for Cosserat elastic plates (2015, methodology): “Models based on Cosserat continuum have been employed, for instance, in the representation of granular media [2]–[4], rock masses [5], [6], block [7]–[9] and layered structures [10], polycrystals and composites materials [10], [11], structures of beams, nanostructures and continuous robotic systems ”
