A limit analysis approach based on Cosserat continuum for the evaluation of the in-plane strength of discrete media: Application to masonry (2017, unknown): “…makes Cosserat-continuum-based models particularly well suited for the description of the mechanical behaviour of masonry structures and preferable, in this sense, with respect to models based on the Cauchy (Salerno and de Felice, 2009) or the second gradient continuum (Trovalusci and Pau, 2014).”
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, background): “In modeling masonry, it is the non-symmetry of the stress tensor that makes Cosseratcontinuum-based models preferable [34] with respect to models based on other non-classical continua.”
