It is well known that composite materials are able to provide higher values of strength stiffness, and thermal properties, together with conferring reduced weight, which can affect the mechanical behavior of beams, plates, and shells, in terms of static response, vibrations, and buckling loads. At the same time, enhanced structures made of composite materials can feature internal length scales and non-local behaviors, with great sensitivity to different staking sequences, ply orientations, agglomeration of nanoparticles, volume fractions of constituents, and porosity levels, among others. In addition to fiber-reinforced composites and laminates, increased attention has been paid in literature to the study of innovative components such as functionally graded materials (FGMs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets, and smart constituents. Some examples of smart applications involve large stroke smart actuators, piezoelectric sensors, shape memory alloys, magnetostrictive and electrostrictive materials, as well as auxetic components and angle-tow laminates. These constituents can be included in the lamination schemes of smart structures to control and monitor the vibrational behavior or the static deflection of several composites. The development of advanced theoretical and computational models for composite materials and structures is a subject of active research and this is explored here for different complex systems, including their static, dynamic, and buckling responses; fracture mechanics at different scales; the adhesion, cohesion, and delamination of materials and interfaces.Technology: general issuesbicsscadvanced modelanalyticalbasement bottom reinforcementbottleBrownian motionbucklingcentrifuge modelling testcircular foundation pitcompositedamageDEM simulationsdynamic stabilityEELSelastomeric foundationepistemic uncertaintyEringen's differential constitutive modelevidence theoryfar-fieldfling-stepgraphene sheetground settlementmetro constructionsMindlin solutionmirror source-sink methodn/aNano-device applicationsnanoparticle suspensionnanoparticlesnatural frequencynear-field earthquakenonlocal and size-dependent dielectricnumerical analysispalletized goodsplasmons vibrational modesPolyethylene terephthalate (PET)precise predictionreinforcement depthrobust optimizationsensor designshield tunnelsimultaneous excitationsoil displacementspecial moment frame (SMF)spectral thermal pulsingstochasticstratum movementstemperature-dependent propertiestransporttunnel deformationtunnel heaveuncertaintyYoung's modulus of reinforced soilTechnology: general issuesTornabene Francescoedt518457Dimitri RossanaedtTornabene FrancescoothDimitri RossanaothBOOK9910557355003321Advanced Theoretical and Computational Methods for Complex Materials and Structures3035246UNINA
