Abstract: A physically meaningful analytical (mathematical) model is developed for the prediction of the interfacial shearing thermal stress in an assembly comprised of two identical components, which are subjected to different ...

Abstract: Based on Mindlin's strain gradient elasticity and firstorder shear deformation plate theory, a sizedependent quadrilateral plate element is developed in this paper to study the nonlinear static bending of microplates. In ...

Abstract: Based on the micropolar elasticity theory, a size-dependent rectangular element is proposed in this article to investigate the nonlinear mechanical behavior of plates. To this end, a novel three-dimensional formulation for ...
