Abstract: This study examines the buckling of a single strip of material, modeled as a twodimensional (2D) micropolar solid. The effects of material microstructure are incorporated by modeling the material using micropolar theory. ...

Abstract: With the recent development of micromechanics in micropolar solids, it is now possible to characterize the macroscopic mechanical behavior of cellular solids as a micropolar continuum. The aim of the present article is to ...

Abstract: Micromechanics models of fiber kinking provide insight into the compressive failure mechanism of fiber reinforced composites, but are computationally inefficient in capturing the progressive damage and failure of the ...
