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. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aadvanced model 610 $aanalytical 610 $abasement bottom reinforcement 610 $abottle 610 $aBrownian motion 610 $abuckling 610 $acentrifuge modelling test 610 $acircular foundation pit 610 $acomposite 610 $adamage 610 $aDEM simulations 610 $adynamic stability 610 $aEELS 610 $aelastomeric foundation 610 $aepistemic uncertainty 610 $aEringen's differential constitutive model 610 $aevidence theory 610 $afar-field 610 $afling-step 610 $agraphene sheet 610 $aground settlement 610 $ametro constructions 610 $aMindlin solution 610 $amirror source-sink method 610 $an/a 610 $aNano-device applications 610 $ananoparticle suspension 610 $ananoparticles 610 $anatural frequency 610 $anear-field earthquake 610 $anonlocal and size-dependent dielectric 610 $anumerical analysis 610 $apalletized goods 610 $aplasmons vibrational modes 610 $aPolyethylene terephthalate (PET) 610 $aprecise prediction 610 $areinforcement depth 610 $arobust optimization 610 $asensor design 610 $ashield tunnel 610 $asimultaneous excitation 610 $asoil displacement 610 $aspecial moment frame (SMF) 610 $aspectral thermal pulsing 610 $astochastic 610 $astratum movements 610 $atemperature-dependent properties 610 $atransport 610 $atunnel deformation 610 $atunnel heave 610 $auncertainty 610 $aYoung's modulus of reinforced soil 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aTornabene$b Francesco$4edt$0518457 702 $aDimitri$b Rossana$4edt 702 $aTornabene$b Francesco$4oth 702 $aDimitri$b Rossana$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557355003321 996 $aAdvanced Theoretical and Computational Methods for Complex Materials and Structures$93035246 997 $aUNINA
