Funded Activity Summary

Rotational Degrees Of Freedom In Modelling Of Materials With Intrinsic Length Scale. In many applications, from nanotechnology to construction and mining, the modelled objects are not large enough as compared to the material constituents for classical continuum modelling to be adequate, but yet encompass too many elements for comfortable particle-type computer simulation. Generalised continua would offer a viable option if a rational method of their construction for each intrinsic material structure were at hand. The project aims at developing the necessary homogenisation procedure and constructing generalised (Cosserat) continuum models of deformation, wave propagation and impact fracture in particulate and layered materials such as multi-wall nanotubes, fullerenes, particulate composites and layered rock masses.
