Couple stress theories: Theoretical underpinnings and practical aspects from a new energy perspective
Ali R. Hadjesfandiari, Gary F. Dargush
In this paper, we examine theoretical and practical aspects of several versions of couple stress theory. This includes indeterminate Mindlin-Tiersten-Koiter couple stress theory (M…
Evolution of generalized couple-stress continuum theories: a critical analysis
Ali R. Hadjesfandiari, Gary F. Dargush
In this paper, we examine different generalized couple-stress continuum mechanics theories, including couple stress, strain gradient and micropolar theories. First, we investigate…
Polar continuum mechanics
Ali R. Hadjesfandiari, Gary F. Dargush
The existing polar continuum theory contains unresolved indeterminacies in the spherical part of the couple-stress tensor. This severely restricts its applicability in the study of…
Analysis of bi-material interface cracks with complex weighting functions and non-standard quadrature
Ali R. Hadjesfandiari, Gary F. Dargush
A boundary element formulation is developed to determine the complex stress intensity factors associated with cracks on the interface between dissimilar materials. This represents…
