TT.II - Technical Multi-Track with Parallel SYMPOSIA
The use of nonclassical/non-local continuua for describing heterogeneous media from nano to macro scales
Co-organized with Sapienza University of Rome Chair: Reuven SEGEV, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel
In this symposium, the applicability and necessity of using non-classical/non-local continua such as micropolar theory and Eringen theory to describe the size effect and non-classical behaviour of heterogenous materials are discussed. The symposium covers a wide range of materials with internal structures from nano (such as carbon nanotubes) to macro scale (such as masonry materials)
